Mississippi Poll: Only 22% of McDaniel’s supporters are committed to vote for Cochran

Cochran is in a dead heat with demo Travis Childers and this poll is among mostly Republicans!

Another troubling finding for Cochran in the latest poll:
“When we asked McDaniel supporters which candidate they would support in the general election, 21% said they would vote for Democrat Travis Childers and another 16% said they would probably not vote at all. Only 22% of McDaniel’s supporters were committed to vote for Cochran in November.”
Many are going to claim we should support Cochran to gain control of the Senate, but I disagree. With Mitch McConnell as the Majority leader, the only thing that will change is Mitch will have a bigger office. McConnell lacks the spine to stand up to Obama's vetoes and there are enough RINO's to get Obama's nominees confirmed.

Payback: Congressional Black Caucus member rolls out demands for blacks helping Cochran win...

Dem Rep. Bennie Thompson

Will Cochran change his party designation to democrat like Arlen Spector did?
Via NRO:
Senator Thad Cochran (R., Miss.) needs to reward the black voters who crossed party lines to support him in his runoff against tea party challenger Chris McDaniel by backing some concrete policy initiatives, according the the state’s only member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
“We have historically black colleges in our state who do the best job they can trying to educate our citizens,” Representative Bennie G. Thompson told National Review Online during a Wednesday interview at the Capitol. ”I’d like to see efforts that they receive full funding. I’d like to see the health care of our citizens improved; our children die too young. I’d like to see an increased effort to make sure that the minority unemployment rate inn our state is reduced. So, there are a lot of opportunities for us to start with.”

Chris McDaniel loses a squeaker in Mississippi...

Close, but no cigar. Cochran won with Democrat help.

State Sen. Chris McDaniel up eight points on Sen. Thad Cochran

Thad Cochran should be careful to not let the door hit him in the arse on the way out.
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.

New Mississippi GOP primary poll finds Thad Cochran is in deep, deep trouble...

Bye...
BILOXI, Mississippi — A new poll shows conservative state Sen. Chris McDaniel with a commanding 12-point lead the runoff election in Mississippi’s GOP primary over six-term incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS).
The Citizens United Political Victory Fund poll, conducted by Kellyanne Conway of The Polling Company, Inc., shows McDaniel has a 52 percent to 40 percent lead over Cochran. In a memo, pollster Conway noted too that McDaniel has an “intensity advantage” as 47 percent of his supporters say they are “definite” supporters whereas only 37 percent of Cochran’s say as much.
