Because you are giving any credibility to a D internal poll ? By the way Hood was up by 5 in his previous internal poll so even if this poll is accurate, the trend is not good for him
I mean, this isn’t less believable than that hilarious SurveyMonkey poll or all the Reeves internals. I don’t even deny that Reeves is slightly favored, but I won’t be surprised if Hood eeks out a narrow win either.
The electorate this fall will likely be better for Republicans than last year's runoff, that's where most of those predictions are coming from
Err, what makes you so sure the electorate will be more R-friendly this year? I guess it’s possible, but even if that’s the case, it will probably be offset by Hood's crossover appeal compared to Espy, so it’s hard to see him losing by more than Espy.
Generally agree with this post. While I think Reeves is favored, and that he will win the election in November, I also believe that Hood will make this a single-digit race, and that he still has an outside chance of winning, if he can somehow replicate, one last time, the success that he has had in all of his prior AG races. In the end, however, Mississippi's racial polarization, intensified by the trends of national polarization which we have seen, will put Reeves over the finish line.
