Tabor Shows Grassroots Strength With Convincing Victory in GOPUSA Poll Wins Poll of 5th District GOP Voters with 64% of Vote

Kernersville, NC -- Showing his growing strength among grassroots Republican activists, conservative, Christian businessman Nathan Tabor was the clear choice in a recent poll on the website GOPUSA.com/NorthCarolina that asked respondents who they supported for the Republican primary in the 5th Congressional District. With over 1200 respondents, Nathan Tabor showed his grassroots strength among Republicans with 64% of respondents saying that Tabor was their choice for the Republican nomination in the 5th District.

“ I am extremely gratified that the North Carolina readers and supporters of GOPUSA have backed my campaign by such a large margin,” said Tabor. “GOPUSA is an excellent resource for grassroots Republicans in North Carolina, and I am pleased to have the support of their readers. From the beginning of this campaign, we have said that the foundation of this campaign was going to be built with the support of grassroots conservative Republicans. The strong showing in this poll is another indication that our conservative platform of lower taxes, limited government and traditional family values is gaining support every day.” The GOPUSA poll ran from October 13th thru October 19th. 1233 people voted. The results were as follows:

Nathan Tabor – 64% Virginia Foxx – 16% Vernon Robinson – 6% Ed Broyhill – 3% John Cosgrove – 3% Note: No Other Candidate Received More Than 3 Percent

Hello Steve,

I was doing some research this weekend and ran across this GOPUSA.com poll.

With over 1200 people voting what relevance if any does this have on this race?

"With over 1200 people voting what relevance if any does this have on this race?"

Was it 1200 people or 12 people 100 times each? And how many of those who voted were residents of the district? Maybe the poll was FReeped or, more to the point, Tabored.

Internet polls are seldom reliable and easy to manipulate. Have any scientific opinion polls been released in the district? I'd be interested in knowing how Mason-Dixon is polling the race.

Yes, it has relevance on the race. GOPUSA.com has very tight polls. A person is only allowed to vote once. GOPUSA.com did a poll on the Governor's race. The poll was removed because one of the candidates tried to back door the poll.

Any candidate who had this poll would pass it out. Virginia Foxx, Vernon Robinson, Ed Broyhill and Jay Helvey sent out emails "informing" people that the poll existed.

I am not aware of any other polls. Do you have any other information or polls?

I signed up for email updates from all of the GOP candidates for NC5 three months ago. The only one who sent me an email encouraging his supporters (plus employees of Revival Soy) to vote was Tabor. I challenge you to post a single email from Robinson or Broyhill encouraging his supporters to participate in the demonstrably bogus GOPUSA poll.

I don't care if you moonlight by pimping for your buddy Tabor, but please don't insult intellectually honest freepers by making things up out of whole cloth.

BTW, Bobby Eberle will tell you that that poll is a joke because it was manufactured and selectively promoted by the GOPUSA NC page editor (who btw publicly supports Tabor).

Here's some legitimate poll data from Arthur Finkelstein for you. According to former candidate Jim Snyder's late October poll, Broyhill and Foxx are both at 20%, Robinson is at 10%, Byrd is at 5%, Helvey is at 4%, and Tabor and Powell are tied at 2%.

Why is Vernon Robinson, who calls himself a black Helms Republican, faring so poorly in the polls in this district?

[joebyrdfan]

Foxx represented 40% of the district at one time or another in the state senate. Eddie's daddy, Jim Broyhill, represented the whole district as a U.S. Senator and much of the district as a Congressman. Each comes to the race with high name id and, more importantly, neither has ever been bashed by the liberal media in the district. Poor Vernon gets trashed by the Winston-Salem Urinal every week it seems. Press releases from the Helvey, Powell, and Tabor campaigns get ignored altogether. As a result, at present (albeit very early) Foxx and Broyhill have no negatives, but several of their opponents (and one another respectively) will undoubtedly change that very soon.

has any campaign or news media release a legitimate poll? THat would set the record straight on the frontrunners.
