Lassiter Foxx Horserace
|
|
A Public Policy Polling poll shows Republican John Lassiter and Democrat Anthony Foxx tied 45 to 45 in next Tuesday’s mayoral election. This is the closest mayoral race Charlotte has seen in years as Mayor Pat McCrory won all seven of his terms pretty handily. Demographically, Lassiter leads among white voters 63 to 29 and Foxx leads among black voters 80 to 9. 59% have a favorable view of Lassiter while 52% have a favorable view of Foxx.
A Cornerstone Solutions poll shows Lassiter leading Foxx 42 to 37 with a margin of error of plus or minus five points, which for all intents and purposes makes this a tied race as well.
PPP is a Democrat pollster and Cornerstone Solutions is a Republican pollster, so wading through a bit of the bias that could be present, I think Lassiter has a slight edge over Foxx going into Tuesday, which is what I’ve been predicting pretty much since both candidates were formally declared.
