Medina now leads Hutchison among conservatives
WHARTON, TX – In the latest poll of likely Republican
primary voters from February 4th to 7th, the North Carolina-based Public Policy
Polling (PPP) report shows Debra Medina is coming on strong.
According to the PPP report, although Perry is at 39% to 28% for Kay Bailey
Hutchison, Debra Medina is now at a whopping 24%! There are major splits within
the race along ideological lines according to the poll results. Perry is at 42%
with conservatives, and Medina is now outpolling Hutchison with conservatives
by a 25-23 margin.
“The big question for Debra Medina is whether there’s enough unhappy voters out
there for her to get into a runoff with Rick Perry,” said Dean Debnam,
President of Public Policy Polling. “That would rank up there with the results
of the Massachusetts Senate election as an early shocker in the 2010 political
season.”
The PPP states there’s no doubt Debra is riding the discontent with the
political establishment. She actually leads the race, 37-32 over Perry, with
the third of primary voters who disapprove of Washington politics.
“The results from the Public Policy Polling is great news that validates the
momentum we’ve been going through this past month,” says Debra Medina,
Republican candidate for Governor of Texas. “My campaign has been run on a
shoestring budget, but it’s a case study for what We Texans are capable of
accomplishing with less money, less resources. Yes, We Texans are undoubtedly
unhappy with how this state has been run for the past decade, which includes
having unfunded federal mandates shoved down our throats. The polls demonstrate
that dissent loud and clear.”
Campaign manager Penny Langford Freeman added, “Texans are smart. They see the
fighting between Kay and Rick and know that they no longer have the people as
their first priority. Debra speaks to the people with truth, respect and honor
and Texans appreciate being able to support a real Texan at last!”
