Strayhorn continues to sink in polls


A new Wall Street Journal/Zogby Poll shows Strayhorn and Perry continuing to decline while Friedman and Bell move up.

Perry 35
Bell 23
Friedman 23
Strayhorn 10

When you consider that the majority of Kinky's voters are liberals who evidently don't know his positions or history a portion of those should move to Bell closer to the election. I admit I am surprised at Strayhorn's continued decline to this low a level. She seemed to have the right positioning to pull it off. If she had disregarded her family and come back to the Democratic Party it would have been an interesting primary.

I have some continued uncertainty about the reliability of the Zogby Internet polls considering the polarized electorate and my belief those on the extremes are more likely to take part in his polling. The moderate bipartisan candidacy of Strayhorn will be most affected by the polarized nature of his Internet polling.

Bell is a mainstream Democrat who got an award from the Houston Republicans for working with them.

Your quotes from Kinky includes one of his biggest lies - he did not vote for Gore in 2000. He did not vote at all.

Kinky receives his most favorable ratings in polls and biggest support from those who describe themselves as "liberal."

Another post of mine expands on this.
