These numbers were gathered in the first week of August (during the time that the hypocrisy of Davis' power company bashing was revealed in the conflict of interest scandal). The reality of his failed approach may finally be catching up with him. -----Original Message----- From: Palmer, Mark A. (PR) Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 7:34 PM To: Kean, Steven J.

The fav/unfav is an anemic 1:1. The right track/wrong track is devastating, and the gubernatorial ballot is tied. These numbers have changed dramatically and put Davis in a very precarious situation politically.
