"Undecided."

40-34-26.

So it's a dead heat between a great candidate and, well, "eh, who gives a shit." Speaks highly for the great candidate.

Poll's pointless. Trendline, possibly of some worth. When the "undecideds" are less than the difference in the polling numbers between the #1 and #2 candidates, wake me.


Zzzzz......

I remember a poll out when Wendy Davis announced she was running and it was a four point gap between them.And why is she only getting 67 % of democrats thats a LOW ASS percentage for a democrat running in a race for Governor.

Wendy is very charismatic and Abbott is not a strong candidate. We are going to work hard to get her elected (and to get people registered in preparation for Hillary as well). Registration and the voting itself, as you may have heard, is our #1 problem. Stringent new ID laws ...

Wendy needs to up her recognition factor, but she has a year to do it. This is very winnable for us. Voter disenfranchisement is our biggest peril in TX, and the TX Republicans are going at it full steam ahead. They know they lose if they don't.
