We’ll See How Good It Is After Haslam Writes Few Fat Checks

Zach Wamp tries to jockey for position in a potential Fristless 2010 GOP Gubernatorial primary by releasing a new survey:

Rep. Wamp, in an email to Friends of Zach Wamp, said, “As my family prepares for the opportunities ahead, I have attached the following results from a scientific survey that was conducted across East Tennessee Dec. 14-15 showing an extraordinary approval rating of almost 13 to 1 among Republicans. I am a very fortunate public servant and thank you so very much.”

The report says the three districts comprised 56% of the vote in the last non-Presidential Republican primary.

It says, “On a trial ballot, Zach Wamp has 48% support, including 24% ‘definite’ support while Bill Haslam has just 20% support. Wamp has majority support among some key conservative voting blocs like CD3 voters (86%), Chattanooga DMA voters (91%), very conservative voters (54%), male Evangelicals (56%), and working men (56%). Wamp also enjoys a decided advantage in terms of image with a majority (56%) of this electorate holding a favorable image of him and a fav/unfav ratio exceeding even that of Senator Alexander.

“In contrast, just 28% of this electorate holds a favorable image of Haslam, including just 38% support in the Knoxville DMA.
