A new Zogby poll has come out regarding the governor's race here in Texas. Kinky and Bell have both gained ground in the new poll, gaining about 3 points each. Perry remains around 35%. It looks like the big loser in this poll is Grandma, who is now polling less than 10%. Here are the numbers in the new Zogby poll:
Perry....................34.8%
Bell....................23.1%
Kinky....................22.7%
Grandma....................9.6%
Kinky and Bell are the only two candidates that have gained ground since the last poll. Perry showed a 0.2% decrease, but that is within the polling margin of error, and may not be a decrease at all. I hope the decrease for Perry is real, because his numbers have to come down for someone else to win.
It looks like Grandma has been hurt by the charges of her unethical misuse of her office, and her flip-flopping on the Trans-Texas Corridor. If these numbers are right, then Grandma is no longer a viable candidate. However, Zogby has been rating Grandma lower than Rasmussen has, so the drop may not be quite as steep as Zogby says.
For those of you wanting to vote against the Trans-Texas Corridor, and those who are tired of the buying and selling of influence in Austin, you have two candidates to choose from [and both are gaining ground] - Kinky Friedman and Chris Bell. Both oppose the TTC, and both would bring more honesty to our state government if elected. As most of you know, I support Kinky Friedman, but I believe Bell would also make a good governor. The people of Texas finally have a choice between two great candidates. If you are a Grandma supporter, I urge you to look closely at Kinky and Bell. Both have a better chance to beat Perry than Grandma.
If this were a three way race, Perry would be dying.
ReplyDeleteYup - If Grandma dropped out and urged her supporters toward one of the others, either Kinky or Bell, Perry would s**t bricks.
ReplyDeleteOf course, those'd be some well-coiffed (sp?) bricks. :))
Any chance of Grandma stepping aside? Unless she really WANTS Perry to win, it's her best move to see to his ouster.
I doubt that Grandma will quit. She strikes me as a pretty stubborn person.
