Based on poll, campaign has committed an additional $250K to final week of TV
According to McLaughlin & Associates, the governor’s race has tightened dramatically, with Independent Carole Strayhorn within five points of incumbent Republican Governor Rick Perry.
The poll tested 600 likely voters on October 25th and 26th.
According to these numbers, the unusually large number of undecideds that other polls were registering early last week has begun to shrink dramatically. The McLaughlin poll says 8.2% are now undecided and a good number have migrated to Strayhorn. A solid 57% of undecideds are women.
