Canseco leads Rodriguez in internal polling

San Antonio Express-News:

Republican Francisco Canseco released an internal poll Thursday that shows him with a slight lead over Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, D-San Antonio.

Rodriguez, meanwhile, filed a complaint charging his opponent with accepting illegal campaign contributions — a charge the Canseco campaign called a “fishing” expedition.

An internal poll of 400 likely voters in the congressional district, conducted by Washington, D.C.-based On Message Inc., found Canseco favored by 45.3 percent of those surveyed, compared to 39.3 percent for Rodriguez.

The poll — conducted Oct.19-20, with the results released Thursday — showed other candidates with 9.6 percent of the vote and 6 percent undecided. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

“It's very clear that people are looking for different representation in Congress,” said Scott Yeldell, a Canseco spokesman.

Cesar Blanco, Rodriguez's campaign manager, questioned the sampling of the poll.

...
I think this can properly be described as a swing district, so it should not be surprising that it would swing toward the GOP in a Republican year. Rodriguez has had trouble keeping his composure when challenged by voters, which has not helped his candidacy. This looks like a GOP pickup at this point.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
