The Informed Vote: Tuke Makes Gains On Alexander

The U.S. Senate campaign of Bob Tuke has released a new poll that reveals that after their pollster gets done telling voters a whole bunch of glowing info about Mr. Tuke, he still loses to Lamar — but only by a little:

Just three percentage points – well within the margin of sampling error – separate Tuke and Alexander in a revote asked after voters hear brief biographical information about Bob Tuke. Tuke garners 43% vote support to Alexander’s 46%. Tuke expands his lead over the incumbent with African-Americans and white Democrats, as well as with liberal and moderate whites. Better still, Tuke gains a lead with independent whites of both genders.
