Good Wednesday Morning, Fellow Seekers.

We already knew the race for central Pennsylvania's redrawn 10th Congressional District was competitive. But a new poll out this week shows it's anyone's ballgame as Election Day closes in.

Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Perry leads Democratic opponent George Scott 44-43 percent in the new Public Policy Poll, with 12 percent of voters in the midstate contest undecided.

The telephone survey of 650 voters by the left-leaning polling organization was conducted on Sept. 24 and Sept. 25. It was commissioned by an outside group supporting Scott.*

The poll shows that about a third of respondents each have a favorable impression of Perry (36-32 percent) and Scott (35-17 percent).

Of the two, however, Scott has the most ground to make up. Forty-eight percent of respondents said they didn't know enough to form an impression of him, compared to 31 percent for Perry.

Fifty percent of respondents identified themselves as Republicans in the poll, compared to 35 percent who said they were Democrats. Fourteen percent of respondents self-identified as independents.

Reflecting national trends, voters in the 10th District are looking forward to casting their ballots in November. Nearly two-thirds of respondents (64 percent) said they're very excited to vote in November.

The 10th District was redrawn as part of a new map imposed by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court earlier this year, improving the electoral chances for Democrats.

Had it been existence two years ago, the redrawn 10th District would have gone to President Donald Trump by 9 percentage points (well down from the 22-point margin in the 4th Congressional District that it's replacing).

In his round of state-by-state rankings, political analyst Nathan Gonzales at "Inside Elections" has the 10th District listed as "likely Republican," while The Cook Political Report, in August, listed the seat as "lean Republican."

Democrats need to flip 23 seats to retake control of the House. With competitive races in the Philadelphia suburbs and in western Pennsylvania, the Keystone State is in the vanguard of that effort as Election Day closes in.
