Rasmussen put out another poll showing the race without much movement (link). Excerpt follows...
Incumbent Republican Rick Perry holds an eight-point lead on Democratic challenger Bill White in the Texas governor’s race with less than two weeks to go until Election Day
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the Lone Star State finds Perry with 51% support, while White, a former mayor of Houston, attracts 43% of the vote. Two percent (2%) like some other candidate in the contest, and five percent (5%) remain undecided.
Umm.... their graphic sez 51-42, but their write up sez 51-43... which is it? Either way, it is yet another poll showing Rick above 50... during early voting...
Digging further into the crosstabs too...
Rick's favorables... 59 positive, 40 negative, 1 undecided
27% very fav
32% somewhat fav
18% somewhat un
22% very un
Bill White's favorables... 45 positive, 50 negative, 5 undecided
23% very fav
22% somewhat fav
22% somewhat un
28% very un
According to this poll those who are certain of their vote support Rick 56% and Bill White 42%.
Of those certain to vote... slightly different than certain of their vote... of those certain to vote Rick wins 53-38 on the initial impressions, and 54-39 on the leaners.
Among those who have already voted Rick leads Bill White 54-41.

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
