Poll: Johnson has lead over McKinney

A new poll by Insider Advantage shows challenger Hank Johnson with a hefty lead over incumbent Cynthia McKinney in the Democratic run-off for the 4th District congressional race.

The poll shows Johnson leading McKinney, 46 to 21 percent, with a third of voters undecided. The survey recorded the responses of 489 likely voters and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 5 percent.

Run-offs are notorious for low turnout, which often makes telephone surveys unreliable. Matt Towery, CEO of InsiderAdvantage, said he was unwilling to say that McKinney was headed for certain defeat. "But is she in deep, deep, deep, deep troube? Yes," he said.

Towery said McKinney and Johnson split the African-American vote in the district, which makes up nearly 53 percent of the electorate. But an overwhelming number of white voters surveyed, who make up 42 percent of the 4th District electorate, said they preferred Johnson.

Towery said his poll also detected some interest among Republicans in the race, which would also work against McKinney. In last week's vote, many Republicans stuck to their own races, headlined by the confrontation between Ralph Reed and Casey Cagle in the GOP race for lieutenant governor.

"But for every Republican who voted on July 18, another was out of town at the beach," Towery said. Anyone who did not vote on July 18 is eligible to cast a ballot in the Aug. 8 run-off.

Whoever you are, no matter what party you belong to, missing two televised debates speaks volumes about who you are.

Jihad Cynthia doesn't have to bother with such trivial matters. She's got a parkway named after her! She won the last election w/ out even campaigning outside of her stronghold in S.W. Dekalb.

But just like when she lost in 2002, she's raised her hideous hair-doo and made a fool of herself. I have to think that her distirct changing boundaries into more conservative Rockdale Co. and leaving lib loving Emory area in Decatur didn't help matters either.

Well, it got her a$$ out of MY district, at least.
