The Artur Davis campaign starts Friday with new numbers from its polling team, Anzalone-Liszt.

In an email to supporters from Davis Strategy Director Jon Paul Lupo, the campaign claims new strength in favorability ratings. The email states:

“Artur Davis favorability rating of +22% positive to negative is an all time high,  and over 66% of voters who know    Davis rate him favorably.”

The email says to offer context,  in the same time period,  Pres. Obama’s approval rating in the state went from +19% positive to -17%.

“When given the option to vote for a generic Democrat or a generic Republican, Alabama voters choose a generic Republican by an 18-point margin. But in hypothetical match-ups with Bradley Byrne, Tim James and Roy Moore, Artur Davis is in a dead heat, outperforming the generic Democrat by as much as 11%.”

The campaign email claims the poll shows a “strong lead over Ron Sparks,” but offers no details.
