Poll Results for Governors' Race.
Bob Riley (R) 49%-Lucy Baxley (D) 33%
Bob Riley (R) 56%-Don Siegelman (D) 23%
Lucy Baxley (D) 50%-Roy Moore (R) 32%
Roy Moore (R) 39%-Don Siegelman (D) 35%

USA pollster Keith Nicholls said the new survey favors Riley, but the incumbent didn't garner majority support when pitted against Baxley.
Nicholls said Siegelman's potential is hard to measure because of his legal troubles. "If he can get an acquittal before the primary, he might still be strong," Nicholls said.

Baxley said the poll results show she is the only Democrat who can win the general election Nov. 7. "There is nothing in this poll that would make anybody believe that former Gov. Siegelman could win the governor's office in November," she said.
Baxley's first position: Not As Bad As the Other Guy. (said while smiling).
