Poll: Mayor’s race a dead-heat
November 16, 2009 at 1:53 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in NewsA new 11 Alive/Survey USA poll of the Atlanta’s mayor’s race shows State Sen. Kasim Reed with 49 percent, and City Council Member Mary Norwood with 46 percent. Reed’s three-percent advantage falls within the poll’s 4.5 percent margin of error.
In other words, according to this poll, it’s a dead-heat.
Norwood and Reed finished first and second in November 3’s mayoral election. They will face one another in a run-off election December 1.
Assuming it’s an accurate snapshot, of course, this poll suggests Reed has been far more successful than Norwood at winning over the 9,829 Atlantans who voted for third-place finisher Lisa Borders.

Unless Mary Norwood has an extraordinary strategy for turning out her peeps for the runoff, I think Kasim Reed has this thing wrapped up. His ground game for the Nov election was phenomenal.

What’s the over/under on turnout? 12 percent?

I think they are projecting 14%
