Flash poll - "Ouch!" for Haley

So our "flash polls" are hardly scientific and mean nothing. Still...

We let people call in over fifteen minutes or so and simply state their feelings for ten seconds or so on some selected issue.

Question: Since Haley Barbour is announcing this week his run for reelection, will you vote for him and why or why not?

68 percent said no. The balance, yes.

Most frequent reason for the lack of support? "The casinos are doing just fine down here on the coast (with Haley's help). But we keep waiting for the grant money that has been promised (Katrina concern).

One would hard-pressed to think that of any radio listening audience that would be more reliably in Haley Barbour's corner. Not these callers, obviously.
