<p><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">Honda begins with 57% of the vote while Khanna has 5%. Republican Evelyn Li picks up 13% of open primary voters with 23% undecided. Honda’s lead remains strong, holding an absolute majority of votes, even after compare and contrast messaging is provided.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">“Mike Honda is well-known and well-liked by the people he represents,” said pollster David Mermin, a partner at Lake Research Partners. “His potential challengers are unknown and will face a long road to persuade voters to choose themselves over the Congressman.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">Mermin added, “Another noteworthy finding was that among voters who work in the tech industry, 56% support Honda, while only 6% support Khanna. Honda’s proven track record of supporting initiatives that benefit innovation, job growth, and an educated and diverse workforce have been noticed by the people he represents.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">This polling data follows on the heels of early endorsements from President Barack Obama, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, DCCC Chair Steve Israel, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, and former DNC chair Howard Dean.</span></p>

<li><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"><b>After positive and negative messaging on all candidates, Honda holds his absolute majority of the vote (54%). </b>Khanna’s support remains weak at 10% of the vote, and Li reaches 17%. The vast majority of Democratic and independent voters are voting for Honda both before and after messages. </span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Honda is viewed very favorably by voters in the district. </b>Honda has an extremely strong 6-to-1 favorable to unfavorable ratio with 66% saying they have a favorable opinion of him, and 11% unfavorable. Khanna, on the other hand, is unknown to 86% of voters, and would require a massive expenditure just to establish name identification in the district, much less persuade voters to choose him over Honda. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">President Obama is viewed very favorably by voters in the district, with 76% saying they have a favorable opinion of him. This indicates that there is even room for Honda to expand his strong base of support, given that he is endorsed by and has a long track record of working with President Obama.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">“I appreciate the support of the people I represent and I’ll keep working tirelessly on their behalf,” said Congressman Honda. “I’ll continue to advocate for solutions that help create jobs, grow our manufacturing economy, and give our students access to the best possible education.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: 12pt;">Lake Research Partners conducted live telephone interviews across the district surveying likely 2014 open primary voters. The margin of error is +/- 4.4%.</span></p>
