PPP Polls: Nixon's Lead Over Kinder Doubles to 14 Points
More data from the Public Policy Polling survey conducted April 28 - May 1.
Jay Nixon continues to look like a solid favorite for reelection as Governor of Missouri, and his lead over his most likely opponent has expanded over the course of the last two months...
Nixon leads his most likely opponent for next year, Peter Kinder, 48-34 in a hypothetical contest. That's up from 45-38 on PPP's last poll of the race. Even though the Democratic base is not in love with Nixon they'll still vote for him over Kinder by an 85-5 margin. Nixon also picks up 13% of the Republican vote and leads Kinder by a 46-27 spread with independents.
No word yet on how to reconcile this new data with Dave Catanese's proclamation on Friday that Nixon v. Kinder will be the #1 "most competitive" race in the entire country this cycle.
