Latest Annise Parker internal poll

Last week the Gene Locke campaign released a poll through former Kemah Mayor Bill King's email list that said:

The poll was conducted Monday and Tuesday nights (November 9 & 10) by Paul Maislin, who also polled for Lee Brown and Bill White. The poll showed Parker leading by a 43-39% with 18% undecided. The margin of error was 4%.Pretty close right?

According to the latest poll released today by the Parker campaign, it shows the race is not as close as the Locke camp would like. The poll was conducted between November 11-15.

In our recent survey, among likely voters with previous participation in past city runoff elections, Parker leads with 47 percent (37 percent strong) to 34 percent for Locke (27 percent strong). A fifth of voters (19 percent). A fifth of (19 percent) remains undecided.

It's hard to determine whether or not the Locke poll is a good indicator of what's going on in the field because they didn't release the internals or methodology of the poll. If my instincts serve me best, I would assume they are not polling "likely voters" that have a history of voting in municipal runoff's like the Parker poll. I will let the people that know more about these things chime in. Just wanted to put this out there.

*UPDATE* Greg, Kuff and Martha have more.
