Poll: McDaniel Takes 8-Point Lead over Cochran Days from Election

PEARL, Mississippi — A new poll shows that state Sen. Chris McDaniel has surged even further ahead in the final days of his GOP primary runoff against Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), in what has become one of the most epic bouts to date between grassroots conservatives and the GOP establishment.

McDaniel has taken a 52 percent to 44 percent lead over Cochran, while four percent of voters remain undecided in a new tracking poll by Chism Strategies. The poll, conducted on Friday night, surveyed 697 GOP primary voters and has a margin of error of 3.8 percent—a number McDaniel’s 8-point lead is well outside of.

“Unless Cochran expands the electorate with general election Republicans and crossover Democrats, McDaniel wins,” pollster Brad Chism wrote in a memo accompanying the poll’s release.

This poll comes on the heels of another Chism poll a couple days ago that had McDaniel at a six-point lead, 50-44.

Isn’t Thad just how you say “sad” if you have a lisp?

Best news I've seen or heard out of Mississippi since I 1st heard about a challenger for Cochran's seat. Now if we can get an actual conservative Repub elected here in GA to take Chambliss's seat I'll be a happy camper. Or at least I will unless I find out the hard way that whoever wins his seat is an equally ineffective middle of the roader as Chambliss and his pardner in crime Isakson have been.

Maybe I'm not talking to the typical GA voter in conversations within my little circle of political prognosticators, but based on what I hear I have to believe that a real dyed-in-the-wool conservative Republican would win by such a lopsided margin that the Dimwits wouldn't even bother to field a candidate next time around.

If the polls are correct, looks like Kingston will get the nod in July, and then will likely win in November. He’ll be an improvement over Chambliss, at least that’s the hope!
