Rep Angie Chen Button Leads HD 112 Race by 11 Points in Internal Polling

State Representative Angie Chen Button's campaign has released internal polling data showing her with an 11-point lead, 47% - 36%, over Democratic challenger Averie Bishop in the HD 112 race. The poll, conducted from September 3-5 with 300 likely voters and a 6% margin of error, also indicates former President Trump leading by just 4 points in this battleground district. These results suggest a relatively tight race in the district, especially with Trump's narrower lead, which could make HD 112 a key battleground for both parties in the 2024 election cycle.
