Governor poll
Didn't catch the TV news last night, but it's been brought to my attention that WCAX polled on the gubernatorial election. The results: 53 percent say they support Douglas-- 22 percent would vote for Democrat Peter Galbraith-- and 15 percent for Progressive Anthony Pollina. 10 percent are still unsure.
"This is a strong position for an incumbent governor to be in," says Middlebury College Political Scientist Eric Davis.
What's interesting Davis says, is that Democrat Peter Galbraith leads Progressive Anthony Pollina by 7 percentage points-- even though Galbraith is not officially in the race yet.
"What these numbers say to me is there is not a great deal of enthusiasm among Democrats to have Anthony Pollina be the only one running against Jim Douglas this fall," says Davis. "In some ways you might argue that people like an underdog who is willing to tell them the truth," Pollina said at a press conference this week.
The Vermont Democratic Party is taking that as good news. - Terri Hallenbeck
