Loren Taylor Poll ALERT! Loren Taylor Poll ALERT! Loren Taylor Poll In Oakland Mayoral Election Reports Barbara Lee 45 % Loren Taylor 41% As Of 3/22 Oakland (Special to ZennieReport.com) - Following the only Oakland Mayoral debate, hosted by KTVU, the latest poll commissioned by Loren Taylor's campaign reveals a statistical tie between Loren Taylor and Barbara Lee. The March poll, conducted March 17-18 among 854 likely voters, shows Barbara Lee at 45%, and Taylor at 41% in first place votes, which puts the race within the margin of error of ±3.35%. Currently, 14% of voters are either Undecided (9%), or voting Someone Else (5%). In January, Lee held 56% and Taylor held 23% of the vote due to her long-standing presence in Oakland politics and near-universal name recognition. In February, Lee's support dropped, with Barbara Lee leading Loren Taylor 46% -25% in the initial survey. The current March poll shows that Taylor gained 16 points moving from 25% of first choice votes in February to 41% of first choice votes in this week's survey. According to Brannon Miller from Blueprint Polling, "The election has tightened dramatically, with Barbara Lee at 45% and Loren Taylor at 41% in first choice votes, which puts this race just within the margin of error. 5% of voters said they are voting for Someone Else and 9% of voters said they are Undecided. For all practical purposes, this is a tied race-a big change from just 4 weeks ago. This is also now definitively a two-person race, as no other candidate registers support with voters besides Lee and Taylor." "Following the KTVU debate, Barbara Lee has struggled to make her case to the Oakland residents. Viewers heard two very different perspectives. They will decide whether Washington D.C. budget allocations and insider politics or my local government experience and pragmatic approach with specific plans to move Oakland forward are what Oakland needs now. The latest poll shows that voters are looking for a mayor who can keep Oakland out of bankruptcy and root out corruption. My campaign's message that I am best-positioned to make hard choices centering Oaklanders is resonating with voters," said Loren Taylor. This survey reveals key trends that boosted Taylor's name recognition and helped close the gap with Lee.
