Unlike when John Oxendine uses such a headline when in fact ‘undecided’ led the poll, there was no ‘undecided’ option in this poll.
That said, per the Herald’s article this morning, the results of their online poll for Governor conducted via their website last Weds-Fri is this:
With ‘more than 630′ votes cast:
| Austin Scott | 34% |
| Roy Barnes | 21% |
| John Oxendine | 19% |
| Thurbert Baker | 7% |
| David Poythress | 5% |
| Karen Handel | 4% |
| Ray McBerry | 3% |
| Nathan Deal | 3% |
| Eric Johnson | 2% |
| John Monds | 2% |
| DuBose Porter | 1% |
| Carl Cannon | < 1% |
A couple of notes here:
a) This obviously wasn’t a scientific poll.
b) I didn’t see any emails or website announcements of this poll from any campaign, but a Scott staffer did get the word out via Twitter about this poll.
c) As I’ve said on other sites and possibly even here, any such poll at this point is almost exclusively name recognition and insiders. Scott still has a long way to go before he moves to West Paces Ferry Rd in Atlanta, and theoretically it is still possible for even Cannon to be a contender.
