Nutter Does Well In Poll

In an independent poll releases yesterday, Michael Nutter surged into a statistical tie with current front-runner Tom Knox.

The survey of 450 likely voters showed Knox in the lead with 20 percent, Nutter with 18 percent, followed by U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah with 14 percent, U.S. Rep. Bob Brady with 9 percent and state Rep. Dwight Evans with 7 percent. Thirty-two percent were undecided.

So what helped him? The ad with his daughter? The photoshopped image above? (”Aw, I loved that Humpty Dance song! I’m voting for DJ Mix Master Mike!”) I dunno. Polls don’t really mean much, as the politicians who are behind in polls like to say, while the ones in front say they mean a lot. Except for, of course, Nutter: “We’re going to keep working hard because the big poll is on Election Day.” Hey, hey, take your (near) victories when you can.
