With some media outlets calling Democrat Conor Lamb the winner of Tuesday's special election in the 18th Congressional district, it was clear that it was going to be a squeaker in the weeks leading up to the vote. According to a Pollfish survey targeting voters in the district, less than two-thirds of respondents said they would vote.

Among those who said they definitely planned to vote, the percentage opting for Lamb vs. Republican Rick Saccone was a statistical tie.
