A Capital Survey Research (Gerald Johnson) poll has Mike Rogers leading Josh Segall 44.9 % to 36.4 %. 18.7% of people polled remain undecided. The polling sample was 471 people taken Sep.30-Oct. 1, 2008
with a margin error of +/-4.5%.
The August poll taken by Capital Survey Research showed Rogers leading 54% to 32.5 % for Segall with only 13.6% undecided.
Segall has improved by 4 points while Rogers has dropped 9 points. We have 5% more undecided from the August poll
A number of thoughts stick out including:
1. Mike Rogers is well under 50%, a clear sign that an incumbent is in trouble.
2. The Bubba Ads did not help Mike Rogers polling numbers.
3. More voters are undecided after seeing ads from both candidates.
4. Rogers went from a substantial 22% lead to a 9%. Segall cutting Rogers lead in more than half is another sure sign that Rogers is in trouble.
5. A serious gas shortage has been reported in the Talladega to Anniston areas. That does not bode well for Rogers.
**Reminder – Josh Segall will also be a guest on The Progressive Electorate Blog Talk Radio Show This Sunday
