New Numbers
Daily Kos commissioned a new poll of likely voters on the U.S Senate race here in Texas. It was in the field this week (Sept 24-26). It shows Cornyn above 50% in a match-up with Rick Noriega, but it doesn't poll Cornyn v Mikal Watts (I guess the Kos Dems have already counted out Watts?)
The poll was conducted by Research 2000 for Daily Kos, with a margin of error +/- 4%.
If the 2008 election for U.S. Senate were held today, would you to reelect John Cornyn, would you consider voting for another candidate, or would you vote to replace Cornyn?
Reelect 40
Consider 15
Replace 35
If 2008 election for U.S. Senate were held today, for whom would you vote for if the choices were between Rick Noriega, the Democrat, and John Cornyn, the Republican?
Cornyn (R) 51
Noriega (D) 35
It seems if Watts were put up against Cornyn, the numbers wouldn't be much (if any) different, since respondents probably picked based on the R or D. I'd like to see more polling on Cornyn v Noriega versus Cornyn v Watts.
