Representative Cynthia McKinney Watch: Latest Poll – Challenger Hank Johnson with a Hefty Lead Over Incumbent Cynthia McKinney in the Democratic Run-off
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, right, gathers with Cindy Sheehan Tuesday, July 18, 2006, at her campaign headquarters in DeKalb, Ga.
AJC: Poll: Johnson has lead over McKinney
A new poll by Insider Advantage shows challenger Hank Johnson with a hefty lead over incumbent Cynthia McKinney in the Democratic run-off for the 4th District congressional race.
The poll shows Johnson leading McKinney, 46 to 21 percent, with a third of voters undecided. The survey recorded the responses of 489 likely voters and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 5 percent.
Run-offs are notorious for low turnout, which often makes telephone surveys unreliable. Matt Towery, CEO of InsiderAdvantage, said he was unwilling to say that McKinney was headed for certain defeat. “But is she in deep, deep, deep, deep troube? Yes,” he said.
If the poll numbers hold up on election day then GOOD RIDDANCE.
Flap handicaps it is bye bye to McKinney on August 8 – and NO smiling with Cindy Sheehan either.
Update:
Captain Ed has McKinney Losing Big To Johnson
What Johnson will bring to Congress is a responsible voice for that constituency, a voice that will garner attention for the right reasons. I will likely oppose most of what Johnson supports, and vice versa, but Johnson will at least have my respect and that of the rest of Congress. Johnson will not use his office to turn himself into some kind of pop-culture martyr. The voters of his district deserve to have a responsible Representative, and it appears that enough of them agree.
Indeed…….

You miss the point… we WANT her to win!
She’s a JOKE to everyone in DC… keeping here there means ONE LESS seat that has any influence.
