Nunnelee Ahead of Childers In Poll

National Journal's Tim Sahd summarized a recent poll saying, "Nunnelee has enjoyed a very strong June, and that has apparently put him in very good shape for the fall."

The Tarrance Group, Governor Haley Barbour's pollster, conducted a poll for the Nunnelee for Congress Campaign surveying 303 likely voters between June 8-9 and found that Nunnelee is leading Congressman Travis Childers 50 percent to 42 percent with a margin of error of +/- 5.6 percent.

Nunnelee's advantage on the ballot is strengthened by voters who know both him and Childers. Among those voters who have heard of both candidates (69% of the sample), Nunnelee leads Childers by +21 points. Vote intensity is also on the side of Nunnelee. Among voters who are "extremely" likely to vote in the November election (64% of the sample), Nunnelee leads by +18 points.

The political environment among voters in this district heavily favors Nunnelee and the Republicans. On the generic ballot for Congress, Republicans maintain a significant +14 advantage. Fifty-four percent (54%) of district voters indicate that they would vote for the Republican candidate and only forty percent (40%) indicate they would vote for the generic Democrat candidate.

Almost six in ten district voters, fifty-seven percent (57%), indicate that they disapprove of the job that President Obama is doing as President, and a majority (50%) strongly disapprove. Just over one-in-three voters (36%) approve of the president's performance.

McGlowan Raises Eyebrows Again on Gallo Show

On February 25, Angela McGlowan spoke to Paul Gallo on his morning radio program. Among other issues, McGlowan answered questions about her controversial gun control comments made on her last program appearance. She also spoke briefly of her opponents, declaring that she would support Henry Ross should he win the June 1st primary. McGlowan denounced fellow Republican Alan Nunnelee; however, stating that she would not support him should he win the primary.

To date, Angela McGlowan continues to impress District 1 voters while alarming others with her comments and ideology. She will appear on the District 1 congressional Republican primary ballot along with Ross and Nunnelee; the winner will face incumbant, Travis Childers, in the November general election.
