Well, I live here in North Carolina & I do have to accept that, they are democratic pollsters but they don’t skew the results. Their analysis of the data will be different but, they are always very accurate with their numbers. It was only polling firm which was right on money for 2008 Obama/McCain race. They prediced 1% win for obama in the state and they got it right.
The problem in Texas is that, they have been beaten up so badly in primary and perry has made some stupid remarks to senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Independents are reflecting that and I agree they will come home to the republicans. The win for perry is going to be in 3 or 4% points. White is very popular in houston and that can increase the turn out in metropolitan cities and make the election very close.
“White is very popular in Houston and that can increase the turn out in metropolitan cities and make the election very close.”
White was not as popular in Houston as the media likes to make it seem. He endorsed the sanctuary city moniker - people started getting killed (including cops), he endorsed the no tall signs or roof-top balloons (which was overturned in court - and started driving out small businesses) and he is an IDIOT!
Bill White is a political ambulance chaser! He hangs his hat onto whatever sounds good at the moment and when it bites him he does not have the skills to talk/BS his way out of the situation! The only way he won Houston was because the black voters will vote for a Democrat EVERY SINGLE D@MN time!
Once you get out of Houston, he quickly looses face - PERIOD!
This poll has more to do with the lull between the primary and the election. The fact is that Perry has really dropped his advertising over the summer (because the residents know who he is), and yet White is continuing to run a good portion of his to keep his name in the minds of voters.
Once it gets close to election time, Perry will start running ads again, and White will loose by at least 8%!
