Poll: Norwood’s lead in Atlanta mayoral race dips, Reed gains
Race becoming more competitive
Looks like this sucker’s starting to get a little more competitive:
The race for the Atlanta mayor’s office got a little tighter in the last week, according to a new poll released Friday.
The new WSB-TV Channel 2/InsiderAdvantage poll shows that Mary Norwood still leads the race with 33 percent, but her lead over Lisa Borders slipped to just six percentage points. Last week Norwood led Borders by eight percentage points.
Although she is still second in the race, Borders actually dropped in percentage points, going from 34 percent to 27 percent this week.
The big gainer was Kasim Reed. He remained in third place, but jumped from nine percentage points to 15 percent.
There are still plenty of folks to convince. Twenty-three percent of the poll’s respondents are still undecided.
