CNN/Gallup Poll: Delay Would Lose CD 22 Today
By Phillip Martin
A CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll taken from December 1-4 shows that, if the election were held today, Congressmen Tom Delay would lose his CD 22 seat to an unnamed Democratic candidate. Here are the numbers from CNN's website:
QUESTION: If Tom DeLay runs for re-election in 2006, in general, are you more likely to vote for the Republican candidate Tom DeLay or for the Democratic Party's candidate for Congress?
Democrat 49%
Tom DeLay 36%
Opinion of Tom DeLay
Favorable 37%
Unfavorable 52%
Unfamiliar 11%
Charges Against DeLay Are...
Definitely true 15%
Probably true 40%
Probably false 26%
Defintely false 8%
From the DCCC:
This poll merely confirms what we already know: Texas families are sick and tired of the culture of corruption and pay-to-play politics that have come to define Tom DeLay. Next November, Texans will have the opportunity to send someone to Washington more concerned with the solving of the challenges facing Texas than paying his own legal bills.
This poll comes on the heels of the announcement that, while Congressmen Delay will not have to stand trial for conspiracy charges, he will still have to stand trial for the serious charge of money laundering.

The question is how does Lampson specifically poll against Delay. From the article:
"Asked their opinion of Lampson, 61 percent of registered voters said they were unfamiliar with him, while 28 percent viewed him favorably and 11 percent unfavorably."
