University of Texas Poll conducted 6/11-6/24 of 350 Republicans and 262 Democrats, pdf here:
Republican Primary:
Gov. Rick Perry 38%
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison 26%
Democratic Primary:
2006 Independent Candidate Kinky Friedman 12%
State Sen. Leticia Van De Putte 7%
Ambassador Tom Schieffer 3%
It seems like Perry is just about the only Governor of a big state who is doing better now than he was six months ago. It wasn't long ago that it looked like he would get swamped by Hutchison, but we've now seen several polls putting him ahead, and he had a monster second quarter of fundraising. Meantime, the always interesting Friedman leads the little-known Democratic field; in fact Van de Putte announced she wouldn't run last month. Even though Hutchision would probably be a somewhat stronger candidate than Perry, I don't see any way Perry loses to the current crop of Democratic candidates.
STRONG ADVANTAGE FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
