Third Poll Confirms Fenty Leads by Double Digits
According to The Post,
A poll concluded last week showed Fenty leading Cropp, 39 percent to 28 percent, with 17 percent undecided, in the Sept. 12 Democratic primary. The margin of error was 2.5 percentage points. Pollster Ron Lester interviewed 600 likely Democratic voters by phone Aug. 12-15.
The story doesn't give us the full poll, nor does it tell us how the rest of the smurfs in the race are polling (here's my guess, Vincent Orange isn't seeing a surge in support after his homo-bigoted comments).
We now have a third poll that confirms Fenty has a double digit lead on Cropp in the closing weeks of the campaign, which accounts for Cropp's negative campaign blitz.

The full poll is here. The numbers are a little different from those in the article, though.
Oh, and Orange is at 4% among likely voters. Looks like the bus driver hasn't helped, despite his taking one for the team.
Thanks KC... those are the Post poll results from the July poll tho... Still havent seen the August Lester poll full results yet...
Orange is a total joke. Complete and total joke.
Oh, that makes sense. The link just said "complete poll data", so I foolishly assumed it was referring to the poll the article was about. I was wondering why the numbers were different.
I really wish we had some better candidates.
KC, I couldn't agree with you more... You would think we would have some better choices, but unfortunately we don't. This election will be about the best of the worst, which is pretty damn tragic. I think Marie Johns really missed out on a chance to run a real outsider/reformer campaign. I think this city is hungry for change and would have loved a candidate to speak to real, substantial change - not just tweaking around the edges.
