Another day, another poll, and hey folks, things are looking up for the Party of Equality, Opportunity & Fiscal Responsibility.
My good friend Jenna Moore brought the following to my attention:
GOP poll shows close race for governor
By Tom Crawford
May 17, 2005
A new statewide poll by a Republican-leaning firm shows that Gov. Sonny Perdue would have a lead of only 3 percent over Secretary of State Cathy Cox if the election for governor were held today and would an eight-point lead over Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor if Taylor were the Democratic nominee.
The poll also indicates that Cox has a 48-39 percent lead over Taylor among Democratic voters at this time and shows political consultant Ralph Reed with a 13-point lead over state Sen. Casey Cagle among Republican voters in the race for lieutenant governor.
Strategic Vision LLC, an Atlanta-based public affairs firm that usually works with Republican candidates, conducted the telephone poll of 801 registered voters in Georgia during the May 13-15 period, with a margin of error of 3 percent. The firm released the latest poll numbers Tuesday morning.
In the governor's race matchup between Perdue, who has no Republican opposition at this point, and Cox, who will be running against Taylor in the Democratic primary, Perdue held a lead of 49-46 percent with 5 percent undecided. That lead is within the poll's 3 percent margin of error.
The Strategic Vision poll showed Perdue with a 50-42 percent advantage over Taylor with 8 percent of the poll's respondents undecided. In a primary election matchup between Taylor and Cox, Cox held a 48-39 percent lead over Taylor among Democrats with 13 percent undecided.
In the Republican primary race for lieutenant governor, the poll had Reed ahead of Cagle by 45-32 percent with 23 percent undecided, a margin that would be in line with Reed's higher name recognition among Republican voters, especially the party's Christian Right faction.
On the question of job performance, 49 percent of the poll respondents approved of Perdue's job performance while 43 percent disapproved and 8 percent were undecided. A job approval rating below the 50 percent level can be a warning signal for incumbent officeholders.
The poll showed Cox with a 55 percent approval rating and 34 percent disapproval (11 percent undecided), while Taylor was at 50 percent approval and 35 percent disapproval (15 percent undecided).
On question of President George W. Bush's job performance, 51 percent approved and 44 percent disapproved, a lower level of support for Bush among Georgians than in past polls. By a margin of 45-43 percent, the poll respondents opposed Bush's proposal to privatize the Social Security system.
