Texas Gov. Rick Perry leads Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, 46 percent to 35 percent, in the race for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, with Debra Medina, a former county GOP chairman, drawing 4 percent, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll conducted Nov. 11. Fourteen percent are undecided.

Rasmussen had the race as a toss-up in its last poll two months ago.

Perry leads Hutchison, 52 percent to 30 percent, among those who identify themselves as conservatives, while Hutchison has a majority among moderates and liberals.

Both Perry and Hutchison poll about the same when it comes to favorability ratings.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
