Polls Come And Polls Go But Gibbons Remains Front Runner

Many Names Bandied About, None As Strong, Whether Republican, Democrat, Or Independent

Yet another political poll has been released, this one developed for the Las Vegas Review Journal, and like most recently, Nevada Congressman Jim Gibbons is the front runner to sleep in the Governor's Mansion.

Within the Republican Party, Gibbons outpolled Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt, who has declared she would like that seat, and Senator Bob Beers who has not.

Among Democrats, Senator Dina Titus, the Senate Minority Leader and declared candidate has a strong edge on Assembly Majority Leader Richard Perkins, also a declared candidate.

Gibbons showed a strong edge over Titus and wide edge over Perkins. Gibbons has been in Congress for five terms and held his seat in the 2004 election virtually unopposed. In his own Second Congressional District, Republicans outnumber Democrats by a large margin. In a statewide race however, Republicans and Democrats are almost even in voter registration.
