The Houston Chronicle has a new poll out for the mayor's race, and while the article does not give a detailed description of the poll's methodology, my sources tell me Zogby polled people who said they were likely to vote in the runoff, as opposed to polling people with municipal runoff voting history. We'd get a lot better feel for the state of the race if the second methodology had been used.
But, the really great news is that Parker is up in the poll 41.9-36.4 with a margin of error of 4.1%. This good news for Parker comes on top of her advantage over Locke in the 8-day out reports, where she reported 33% more in donations than Locke. She also had 3000 donors in the six weeks covered by the financial reports, as opposed to 900 for Locke. Crosstabs for the poll can be found here. Note that the Controller's race was also polled, with Republican MJ Khan leading Democrat Ron Green.
The election is going to be close and it's time to ratchet up the volunteering and the donations to the Parker campaign! Six more days! Volunteer here. Donate here!
Early vote for Parker today through Tuesday. Election day is Saturday, December 12th. As always, go to harrisvotes.com for polling locations, times the polls are open - and then on Election Night, results!
