Steve Brown Poll Shows Large Early Lead
Posted April 24, 2008 at 03:48 PM
A recent poll of primary voters in Missouri’s 73rd district shows that Steve Brown leads his competitor Stacey Newman among all demographics. The survey of 400 likely primary voters indicated that he is better known than Newman (38%/24%) and is very popular among those who do have an impression of him (34% net favorable; 4% net unfavorable). In a head-to-head matchup of the two candidates, Brown has a double-digit lead. Thirty-six percent said they plan to vote for Steve Brown while just 13% said they would vote for Newman. This nearly 3-to-1 advantage is mirrored in the strength of the candidates’ support; nearly a quarter (24%) strongly support Brown while only eight percent strongly support Newman.
Brown Spokesperson Nick Adams, said the campaign is pleased with the results but will not be complacent. “The numbers show that when people meet Steve, they like him and they agree with his progressive message. But there is a long way to go until August 5th, and we plan to reinforce our efforts to ensure that every voter gets a chance to talk with Steve.”
Brown has been canvassing the 73rd District meeting voters and discussing issues for six months. His main priorities include increasing access to affordable and quality health care to all Missourians, improving the state’s public education system, and ensuring Missouri’s economic future by investing in the growth of the life sciences industry and green-collar jobs in renewable energy.
With a similarly strong lead in fundraising – a nearly 2-to-1 advantage in cash on hand – Brown should have little trouble spreading his message across the 73rd District.
