The race for Connecticut&#8217;s 5th Congressional District is considered one of the most competitive in the nation, \u200bearning \u2062a &#8220;lean Democrat&#8221; rating \u2062from\u2062 the nonpartisan \u200bCook Political Report.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Logan Campaign&#8217;s \u200bInternal Polling \u2063Memo<\/h3>\n<p>The latest polling memo obtained by the \u200bWashington Examiner shows \u200da neck-and-neck race within the margin of error. With 43% of \u200dvoters supporting Hayes, 41% supporting Logan, and 16% undecided, every vote counts.\u2064 The generic\u200c ballot is equally close, with 44% favoring a Democratic\u200d candidate and 42% favoring a Republican candidate.<\/p>\n<h3>Logan&#8217;s Strong Support \u200cAmong Independents<\/h3>\n<p>Logan has \u2062a lead among independent and unaffiliated voters, with \u206441% to 33%.\u2064 Among independent men, the margin is 39% to 28%, and among independent women, it&#8217;s\u2063 43% to 37%.<\/p>\n<h3>Challenging Environment for President Biden<\/h3>\n<p>The poll conducted from Nov. 11-13 also reveals\u2062 President Joe Biden&#8217;s unpopularity in the district.
