WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, BlackPAC, House Majority PAC, the National Education Association and Women Vote, the independent expenditure arm of EMILYs List, released new data from Cornell Belcher at Brilliant Corners showing a toss up race between Joyce Elliott and French Hill. 

Some numbers to give national Republicans pause:

  • Overall, voters are dissatisfied with the direction of the country by a margin of two to one
  • When asked if they wanted to reelect Hill or elect someone new, only 36% of voters said Hill should be reelected
  • After Joyce Elliott is introduced to voters, her lead grows: Elliott 51%, Hill 44%
  • Biden leads Trump 49%-46% 

The sample is 605 likely November voters and an oversample of 102 African American 2020 voters. The poll was in the field September 10-16.
