Something to watch today... (The Next Mayor)

The Philadelphia Tribune is releasing a poll in the mayor's race. It specifically measured the opinion of the city’s black registered voters.

ETA: The Daily News' Bob Warner reports that the poll shows Fattah with a clear lead over all his democratic rivals, but fully one-third of the voters remain undecided. In fact, both Fattah and "undecided" are at 33 percent.

Other results from the Tribune poll:

16 percent said they planned to vote for Dwight Evans
9 percent said they planned to vote for Michael Nutter
6 percent said they planned to vote for Bob Brady
1 percent said they planned to vote for Tom Knox, John Dougherty, or Jonathan Saidel

Other interesting things...there were more undecideds among those polled in North, West and South Philadelphia than in the Northwest or Northeast, where they are lumping for Fattah at this early, early point...women were more undecided than men..

The Tribune says this is the first statistically projectable poll ever sponsored by an African-American newspaper. Black voters are the largest single ethnic voting bloc in the city, representing 61 percent of registered Democrats in Philadelphia.
