Version: 3

OR poll from Rasmussen that I missed earlier--out on the 17th:
Survey of 500 Likely Voters
Ted Kulongoski (D) 43% Ron Saxton (R) 41%

And here's a comment that I put on my #2 prediction before I realized the OR poll a few hrs. later:

New TX poll:
Data Collected: 05/19/2006 - 05/21/2006
Sponsoring News Organizations: KEYE-TV Austin, WOAI-TV San Antonio

Filtering: 1,200 Texas adults were interviewed 5/19/06 - 5/21/06. Of them, 1,021 were Registered Voters. Of them, 605 were judged to be "likely" voters. Crosstabs reflect Likely Voters.

1 Asked of 605 Likely Voters
Margin of Sampling Error for this question = ± 4.1%

If the election for Governor of Texas were today, and you were standing in the voting booth right now, who would you vote for?
18% Bell (D) 16% Friedman (I) 41% Perry (R)
20% Strayhorn (I) 1% Other 3% Undecided

Edit

I had this up for a few mins., then wanted to look to see what else I could change, since all I changed was OR's confidence, so I switched HI to rep. b/c most people had it as that (I had it as Dem.). I was going to change MI to 50% DeVos, but am just too cocky I guess.


Version: 2

I updated it based on the polls, but decided to ignore some of the polls that were close and keep incumbants in.


Version: 1

The polls aren't really too accurate yet. All I have to say is, that I'm pretty sure that my home state, Michigan, will be smart enough to kick out Jennifer Granholm (D) and elect Dick DeVos! If anybody feels that I've errored on their state, please let me know, seeing as I've based these on what polls I've seen, and just kept 2002's election for what states didn't have polls.
