HD-52 Poll: Maldonado v. Daniel


by: IVR Polls

Fri Jun 06, 2008 at 02:57 PM CDT


On 6/3, I polled 489 likely voters in District 52. The results mirror the 2006 election numbers, with the Republican Bryan Daniel leading Democrat Diana Maldonado by 6.3 points. The 2006 election was a 6.2 point victory for the Republican Mike Krusee. The Libertarian candidate pulled 5.3% in that election, and while I did not specifically name the Libertarian candidate this time, 7% chose the 'vote third party or not vote' option which is higher than I typically see and higher than the same option got in the presidential and senate matchups from the same poll. If the option is interpreted as 'not vote' rather than 'vote third party', the margin increases to 6.8 points. Probably somewhere in the middle.

489 likely voters polled 6/3/2008, margin of error 4.4%

Daniel 48.0%
Maldonado 41.7%
Third part/not vote 6.9%
Undecided 2.9%

Excluding third party/not vote

Daniel 51.6%
Maldonado 44.8%
Undecided 3.1%

Why Isn't This Closer? (0.00 / 0)
I'm a little disappointed that this race isn't closer.  While the "third pary/not vote" value is high, the undecideds seems really low for a state race, and they don't even make up half of Maldonado's deficit in either case.

There's plenty of time (0.00 / 0)
Many people are still voting based on party affiliation.

Well... (4.00 / 2)
First off, zero communication, so this race is pretty much a raw party ID.  That it matches '06 is no shock.  Second, this is assuming the same universe as '06.  This district is experiencing MASSIVE growth and the '08 primaries showed a LOT of new voters who WILL vote in November.  I don't know exactly what the pool used to pull out voters was for this poll, but it seems like it probably was the 1 of 2 D voters (04 OR 06).  This doesn't take into account new registrants.

A smart mail program for this race WILL take them into account and the mail universe will probably be 1 of 2 generals with ALL new registrants taking out anyone with a Republican primary history (in some districts we need to communicate with Republican primary voters... I don't know that we will need them in this one or that they'll be in any way persuadeable).  Cable zoning in this district is actually pretty decent, so there should be a layer of that along with probable broadcast.  All of that communication will certainly change these numbers.  No need to panic yet.
