At Rear-View Mirror Of Indicted Incumbent Republican Hunter; 3 Points Now Separate Combatants:


1 week till ballots are counted in California's 50th Congressional District, with many votes already cast, incumbent Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter clings to a 3-point lead over Democratic challenger Ammar Campa-Najjar, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for KGTV-TV in San Diego and the Union Tribune newspaper.

At this hour, it's Hunter 48%, Campa-Najjar 45%. Compared to a SurveyUSA poll released 08/27/18 --- shortly after Hunter was indicted for misuse of campaign funds --- Hunter is down 1 point, Campa-Najjar is up 6 points. Hunter had led by 8, now 3.
