| Cynthia McKinney (D, Fruitcake), Down 15 Points As Primary Nears |
| 2006-08-01 |
| A new InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion poll for the Democratic primary runoff in Georgia’s 4th Congressional district shows challenger Hank Johnson maintaining his lead over incumbent U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney by a full 15 percentage points as the runoff election looms closer. McKinney’s totals moved up from the last poll late last week, but she still sat well behind former DeKalb County Commissioner Johnson. Hank Johnson – 49 percent Cynthia McKinney – 34 percent Undecided – 17 percent. The tracking survey of 300 likely voters was conducted the evening of July 31, and has a margin of error of plus or minus six percent. "There has been some shift in African American voters in McKinney’s direction," said InsiderAdvantage CEO Matt Towery. "However, the black vote remains split with local black leaders endorsing Johnson, who is trouncing McKinney among eligible white voters." The winner of the August 8 runoff election will go on to face Republican challenger Catherine Davis in the November general election. |
