No new polls since the Beck incident....

[devil21]

Do they not do any exit polling for early voters?

Sorry guys, got some bad news: http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2010/02/taking-suggestions-on-where-to-poll.html

Early indicators (note that their early) is that medina is fading they say

 

[JohnG]

Oh, and another thing: Don't tell them to poll texas next week. They will do that anyway.

We'll see. If she was really fading, a poll would be out by now.

Not fading isn't good enough. She needs to keep surging.

Not fading isn't good enough. She needs to keep surging.

She is statistically tied with Bailout in at least two polls. She only needs a marginal increase.

She is statistically tied with Bailout in at least two polls. She only needs a marginal increase.

She needs more than 25% to make the run-off. (She would squeak in with Perry at 50% - 1, KBH at 25%, and Debra at 25% + 1. ) The highest Debra has polled so far is 24%.

PPP is a good company, unfortunately. If Medina is fading there, maybe she is fading. Or has been at least. Need to create some headlines now. Seriously, many people didn't even start to look into the race until really early. First thing they heard about Medina was that she's a truther (which she is not). New headlines which will be read not only by political junkies is needed, and quickly.

PPP claims Medina is a fading a bit.

 

[JohnG]

Yes Agorism, I just wrote that.

Numbers from the dailykos poll:

http://www.dailykos.com/statepoll/2010/2/10/TX/444

Very Favorable

Medina 20
Bailout 17
Perry 16

Very Favorable + Favorable

Medina 47
Bailout 52
Perry 50

Poll Number

Medina 17
Bailout 30
Perry 42

No Opinion

Medina 18
Bailout 11
Perry 5

Unfavorables Total

Medina 35
Bailout 37
Perry 45

It looks like there are a lot of voters who like Medina, and don't like Perry & Bailout, who have not committed to voting for Medina yet.

I think after the Beck thing it took the wind out of Debra's sails.

I hope she makes it into a run off, but she totally screwed up that interview.

She needs some good press somehow in the final days of the campaign.

 

[JohnG]

Yeah. As I said, say something that will create headlines. Be a bit populistic if necessary. Many people didn't get a good first time impression of Medina.

She needs about 30% to make the runoff.

I don't post here much but has anybody seen this about Glenn Beak the Neo Lap Dog?

I'm not giving up on her yet.

Nonsense regardless how many times you repeat it. Debra didn't screw-up anything although she's been pressured by recent interviewers to admit she made a "mistake". IF and it's a big IF at this point, Debra doesn't force a run-off due to Beck's shenanigans, the fault won't be Debra's, but the voters who allowed themselves to be swayed by a charlatan. Speaking the truth is NEVER wrong even if punishment follows from ill-informed and duped voters. In the end, all Texans lose for not electing a superb candidate.

 

[Galileo Galilei]

Is there still not a post-Beck poll?

 

[rp08orbust]

PPP has completed a post-Beck poll but hasn't released the results yet. They've only hinted that "Medina is fading".

 

[lupester]

Again....if there are 28% people who are voting that have never voted in a primary before then those people could not be called by the poll takers. You have to vote in a primary to be considered Republican or Democrat. The poll takers are calling people who have voted in the primarys before. This whole thing is up in the air.
