[Tender Branson]

50% Perry
38% White
  1% Others
11% Undecided

Wilson Research Strategies conducted a research study of likely voters throughout the state of Texas on behalf of GOPAC-TX.

Respondents were contacted by phone via a live telephone operator interview August 29-31, 2010. The study has a sample size of n=1001 Likely Voters. The margin of error is equal to ±3.1% in 95 out of 100 cases. The sample was stratified to represent the district electorate based on race, age, gender, partisan identification, and geographic distribution.

Not bad.  It's probably a bit high for Perry, but close enough to what I think the state of this race is to be at least somewhat legitimate.

Though I really want Cross-tabs for these kind of polls.  They reflect much more on the state of the race than simple head-to-head numbers do.

So he's only leading by about 5%. Got it.

But that 5 is going to be almost impossible to crack without strategic use of his freezer.
