Cox says she's got a 20-point lead, and also is ahead of Taylor among black voters.
The Political Insider today reports the following:
Boosted by a good showing in the fund-raising department, Cathy Cox's people last week let slip a June poll of Democratic voters that focused on next year's gubernatorial primary. The survey showed the secretary of state leading Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor by 56 to 36 percent. More important, the poll had her leading in the major demographics, among rural voters, urban voters, women and men.
Taylor's advocates have spent many months arguing that their man has a lock on the African-American vote, now the crucial ingredient for a Democratic primary victory. But Cox says she's ahead there, too: 49 percent to 42 percent among all black voters and 54 percent to 37 percent among African-American women.
