Riley, Baxley Make Final Stops

By Associated Press

Undated, AL – Republican Gov. Bob Riley and Democratic Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley make final campaign stops across Alabama today (Monday) in the governor's race. The latest statewide poll shows Riley is headed to an easy re-election victory on Tuesday. It also puts Republican candidates ahead in the races for lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state. The survey, taken for The Birmingham News and other news organizations, also shows Republican Drayton Nabers and Democrat Sue Bell Cobb are about even in the race for chief justice of Alabama. The telephone poll has a margin of error of plus or minus FOUR percentage points. It was taken Tuesday-Thursday among 500 voters who said they would vote on Tuesday. Asked for whom they would vote if the election for governor were held today, 59 percent said the Republican, Riley; 31 percent said the Democrat, Baxley; and the rest were undecided.
