VermontBiz has released a poll of some of the most competitive primary races. Voting day is this Tuesday, August 9. The races we are closely following include US Senate, Congress, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State and Attorney General. This year the primaries are considered some of the most competitive in memory. Below is a sample of the races (Note: SIANAY CHASE CLIFFORD has dropped out the race for Congress but remains on the ballot. This list is taken from the Secretary of State's website).
