EXCLUSIVE: Poll Numbers Show Sen. Mike Jackson In Serious Trouble

By Vince Leibowitz  on Nov 2, 2007 in 2008 Texas Elections      

Capitol Annex has learned this morning from political insiders that a new poll taken in the Senate District 11 race shows State Senator Mike Jackson (R-LaPorte) all but assured of losing a 2008 general election match-up against Joe Jaworski (D-Galveston), a longtime Galveston City Councilman.

One campaign insider called the results of the poll, which have not yet been disclosed to the public, the worst re-elect numbers seen for a Republican Senator in nearly two decades–basically the worst ever.

Now would be a great time to toss some support to Jaworski via his Act Blue page. Jaworski is the grandson of famed Watergate Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski. He served three terms on the Galveston City Council, including a stint as Mayor Pro-Tem, stepping down in May 2006 under the city’s term limits law. In 2005, Joe helped lead the city of Galveston’s team that faced Hurricane Rita.

    links from TechnoratiWhat do elected officials that served with Wilson think? I can’t think of a worse appointment to the DPS commission, the board of regents or any other commission,” said state Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston.Capitol Annexhas heard some rumors that Republican Mike Jackson is in trouble down in SD-11. Looks like Joe Jaworski wins a head to head poll of informed voters by over 10 points. Looks like Jackson and Kim Brimer in SD-10 might be headed for early retirement.

    links from Technoraticampaign finance success, and you combine it with the kind of candidate he’s shaping up to be, it is easy to get excited about Jaworski’s campaign. He’s pulling news coverage, he’s picking up earned media, and he’s got theattentionof the TexRoots as well. We all know that real, legitimate campaigns begin long before the “official kickoff” but it is a moment worth marking — now the race begins in earnest.
