Rick Perry: 38%
Carole Keeton Strayhorn: 18%
Chris Bell: 15%
Kinky Friedman:14%
I'm not familar with the Polling company, so I have know idea how accurate it is. The Dallas Morning news and it's parent company are notoriously Pro-Republican, so we know where they stand. Personally I find Perry's numbers surprising. Has Bell and Kinky support moved to Strayhorn? Pretty depressing regardless. At this point though I'll be happy if anyone beats Perry.
