Back in June U.S. House candidate Kelly Armstrong’s campaign released polling they commissioned showing their candidate leading Democrat Mac Schneider 48 percent to 26 percent.

Today the campaign has released another round of polling, from the same pollster, showing both candidates having come up in the polls, though Armstrong maintains a strong lead.

You can see the full pulling memo the campaign provided me with below. The polling was conducted August 26 – 28 and included 506 likely voters, 73 percent of whom were contacted via cell phone, with a margin of error of 4.47 percent.

For a point of reference, Trump got nearly 63 percent of the vote in North Dakota in 2016.
