In the governor's race
most of the
eight major candidates
between 52% and 82%
who took your poll have not
heard enough about them.
Of course
former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes
is a little better known.
But should anyone take stock
in this kind of poll number
at this point?
I think the stock you take
is the disengagement
that all of these candidates
have work to do
introducing themselves
to voters.
Mandela Barnes is the
best known by a good bit
followed by Tom Tiffany
followed by
Sara Rodriguez
on the Democratic side.
But all of them
have the chance
to introduce themselves
to voters over the next
however many, eight months
it is, seven months
'til the primary.
But that will take time
and often
we see that in primaries
people don't really tune in
until June.
