Re: Summary of General Election Polling Results in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District

With less than six weeks left until Election Day, Congressman Ron Klein has an 8-point lead over
Republican challenger Allen West in Florida’s 22nd congressional district. Klein is clearly getting the
better of the paid communications battle, and leads West 48% to 40%. Klein is in an excellent
position to hold this seat, provided he continues to have the resources for a strong paid
communications program.

Klein holds an 8-point lead over Allen West

"# Ron Klein currently leads 48% to 40%. Klein’s support is solid across demographic and
geographic lines – even in this tough political environment he leads 52% to 32% with
registered independents.

"# Klein leads in both major media markets. He leads 49% to 39% in Broward County, and
48% to 39% in Palm Beach. Klein’s lead in the expensive and inefficient Miami media
market will be particularly difficult for Allen West to overcome.

"# Klein has built a strong connection with a district in which it’s notoriously difficult to
communicate and get free press. Almost half (49%) of the voters in the district say
they’ve been contacted by Ron Klein, and among those voters he leads 52% to 38%.

Klein is getting the better of the paid communications battle, and has tripled West’s
unfavorable rating since April
"# Klein’s ads highlighting West’s history of financial irresponsibility and extreme positions on
Social Security and Medicare have clearly damaged West. Since May, West’s unfavorable
rating has nearly tripled to 26%.

"# Among registered independents, West’s unfavorable rating has almost quadrupled to 29%.
His unfavorable rating with them has risen four times as fast as his favorable rating since
April.
