A new survey by Public Policy Polling sponsored by the Democratic Governor’s Association shows incumbent scandal-plagued doofus Republican Gov Tate Reeves leading Dem challenger Brandon Presley 46 to 45 with 10 days to go before the first round election, Mississippi Today reports.
The liberal non-profit news outlet cautions that it’s a Dem-sponsored poll by a Dem-leaning pollster (albeit a reputable one) but the disapproval ratings for Reeves are consistent with other surveys’ findings. There’s also that Presley might see a boost from independent candidate Gwendolyn Gray dropping out and endorsing the Dem earlier this month (though too late for her name to be removed from the first-round ballot). In any case, it’s extremely unlikely either Reeves or Presley will win outright on election day and are nearly certain will be set for a runoff on November 28th.
