HoustonChronicle.com - Poll: White widening gap over Sanchez
Official results via KHOU:
White 53%
Sanchez 35%
Undecided 12%
I find the undecideds a little high on this one, both because other polls have had it in single digits and its mere days before the election. Still, the spread points to something in the neighborhood of 60-40, confirming my hunch that White falls just shy of the 60% threshold.
The Controllers race is rather interesting, though:
Parker 46%
Tatro 26%
Obviously a lot of undecideds, but look for Parker to get in thanks to her name ID and Bill White's coattails.
Also encouraging, yet still a squeaker on two fronts ...
Position 3:
Sekula-Gibbs 32%
Peter Brown 31%
I'm still a bit pessimistic about Brown's odds, but I hope I'm wrong.
Ron Green 31%
Bert Keller 28%
My pessimism here is over name ID, although Ron Green has a few factors working in his favor as well. As the results would indicate, Green should have the edge in pulling out a win as both could be close calls at the finish.
