No new polls since the Beck incident....

No new polls since the Beck 9/11 incident....

.... so much for the bullshit that it hurt her in the polls!

If her poll numbers had really gone down, a new poll would be out by now.

The reality is that the vast majority have questions about 9/11, even if they don't think it was a conspiracy. And 9/11 has nothing to do with a state election in Texas, as Deb pointed out in the Beck interview and several times later.

Beck, Perry, Bailout Hutchison, the Dallas Morning News, Dave Weigel, Fox News, Clear Channel, Realclearpolitics, and Viacom can all take a long walk on a short pier!!

Those polls mean nothing now

We are seeing up to 28% of voters that have never voted in a primary in our county....meaning.....the polls don't mean crap anymore. Those polls only call republican voters (people who voted in the republican primary before)....so the polls would have a 28% margin of error at least, which would mean they are worthless.

That is what is being seen across the state about 1/3 new voters.

I hope they're real..then they're mostly ours.. otherwise the establishment just sent truckloads of peeps down to support Perry..

That's a good point.

There are several other reason to believe medina can move up in the polls:

* Almost all of Medina's support is "strongly approve" support, while Perry and Bailout are about 50-50 with "strongly approve" and "moderately approve". Medina has stronger support among those who say they will vote for her, and can pick up new voters from those who already like her, and is less likely to lose support she already has.

* most voters understand she need only finish second, so she is less likely to have voters bail from "wasted voter syndrome".

* Medina has lower "unfavorable" ratings and higher "undecided" ratings than Perry or Bailout, so she has a better chance to pick up new voters from these ranks.

* Medina has had a relative fundraising boom that can only help her chances.

* Medina has had a sharp upswing in media interviews and TV interviews.

I just ordered a 4 foot Medina sign from her online store!

Medina's stock at www.intrade.com has inched up a few points since last week.

She was at 11 and is now at 15.

The first day turnout here was double our last primary, and THAT WAS A NATIONAL ELECTION YEAR.

So does high turnout help or hurt Medina? We already knew the turnout would be high. I think a lot of new voters helps Medina.

That's what I think. I don't think the establishment is turning out huge percentages of new voters. I think 90+% of the new voters are gong to Medina.

Or it is the democrats showing up to vote for Kay since they know Bill White is a lock in his primary.

The next poll will probably be out on monday. PPP is doing one this weekend, so I guess they will publish it monday.

Maybe they can give some clues about it on sunday already? They do that sometimes on the blog.

they are?

 

[JohnG]

Didn't they write that, last time they polled? That they would do one each weekend until the primary, as long as it looks like Medina has a chance (which she has)?

For Brazoria county, the Tuesday early voting (for both parties) was about half what it was in 2008, 957 vs 1949. But it was about twice what it was in 2006, the last gubernatorial year, which had 568 voters. Don't have numbers for previous years, but for the three days, Tues thru Thurs, there were 2667 Republican votes, with only 398 Democrat votes. This trend will probably hold up state wide.

Every time the establishment attacks 9/11 truthers they open a few more eyes, so I say keep on attacking!
