Well, dear readers, now that campaign season is upon us, we will be inundated with polls up until Election Day.As Jennifer Vigil reported today in the U-T, the first poll is out on the City Attorney's race. The complete poll results are available in a link within the article, if you want to check it out.
This poll predicts that Aguirre would garner 25% of the vote in the primary, but would ultimately lose in a head to head run in the general election against Judge Goldsmith, Council President Scott Peters, or Councilman Brian Maienschein, respectively.
In this poll, Amy was not presented as an option in a head to head race against Aguirre.
A few things to note: the poll was conducted between February 26-28, a full week before the final slate of candidates were finalized. Moreover, about 27% of the voters polled said they were undecided.
The point is, the race is still young. Indeed, our marathon to the general election has only just begun. The San Diego Daily Transcript approached Amy for comment today on the poll results, and here is what she said:
"It is very early in the race, less than one week after papers have been officially filed. I look forward to the first official debate tomorrow, and the opportunity to get in front of the voters to present my message of choice between the two extremes posed by the other candidates. I can provide that balance, between an attorney who will only act for the people, and a city attorney who will only act for city officials. The voters deserve, and the City needs, both."
So hang in there, blog readers. There will be many more polls to come. AND, watch for the news out of tomorrow's debate, sponsored by the Lincoln Club. I for one, am looking forward to seeing what happens when this field of candidate hits the stage all at once!
