New Harris poll: the hard numbers

Some of you wanted the hard data released in the new Andy Harris polling memo. Here you go:

Arthur J. Finkelstein & Associates conducted a telephone survey of registered voters in Maryland’s 1st Congressional District on Tuesday, July 15th, 2008. With a sample size of 300 the margin of error is +/- 5.65 at the 95% confidence level.

From the non-partisan "CampaignDiaries.com":

"...it is somewhat surprising that Harris has taken the step of releasing a poll in which he is as low as 44% in a district that voted for Bush with 62% of the vote. Not to mention that there is reason to be skeptical of this internal poll, whose sample is only 300 voters... [I]t says something about the GOP’s anxieties over its open seats that this survey is considered good news by the Republican candidate."
