San Marcos, CA \u2014\u00a0A new San Diego Union-Tribune\/10 News poll conducted by Survey USA shows Republican Congressman Darrell Issa with a double-digit lead over Democratic opponent Ammar Campa-Najjar. The poll<\/a> has Issa leading with 51% to Campa-Najjar\u2019s 40%, with 9% undecided.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Issa attributed the poll results to his \u201cbusy schedule campaigning across the district over the past year, the fact that [he\u2019s] winning the independent vote by a massive 14 point margin, and that the Republican base stuck with [him] through a long, difficult, and expensive primary campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campa-Najjar has recently come under criticism for creating a bloody anti-Israel propaganda video in 2012 with the Palestinian Liberation Organization\u00a0as well as leaked text messages between himself and anti-Israel activists and donors where he expressed<\/a> anti-Israel positions<\/a> contrary to his publicly expressed views.<\/p>\n

Issa served as a member of the United States House of Representatives representing a succession of Southern California Districts from 2001-2019. He was the Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform from 2011-2015. He is currently the Republican candidate for California\u2019s vacant 50th<\/sup>\u00a0Congressional District.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
