National Journal's Tim Sahd summarized a recent poll saying, "Nunnelee has enjoyed a very strong June, and that has apparently put him in very good shape for the fall."
The Tarrance Group, Governor Haley Barbour's pollster, conducted a poll for the Nunnelee for Congress Campaign surveying 303 likely voters between June 8-9 and found that Nunnelee is leading Congressman Travis Childers 50 percent to 42 percent with a margin of error of +/- 5.6 percent.

Nunnelee's advantage on the ballot is strengthened by voters who know both him and Childers. Among those voters who have heard of both candidates (69% of the sample), Nunnelee leads Childers by +21 points. Vote intensity is also on the side of Nunnelee. Among voters who are "extremely" likely to vote in the November election (64% of the sample), Nunnelee leads by +18 points.
The political environment among voters in this district heavily favors Nunnelee and the Republicans. On the generic ballot for Congress, Republicans maintain a significant +14 advantage. Fifty-four percent (54%) of district voters indicate that they would vote for the Republican candidate and only forty percent (40%) indicate they would vote for the generic Democrat candidate.
Almost six in ten district voters, fifty-seven percent (57%), indicate that they disapprove of the job that President Obama is doing as President, and a majority (50%) strongly disapprove. Just over one-in-three voters (36%) approve of the president's performance.
