Poll shows close race
The two gubernatorial candidates each received 43 percent in survey

The poll was commissioned by the Business Council of Alabama, which as you might expect tends to support Republicans. (And is obsessed with "tort reform".) They've endorsed Bob Riley. I'd tend to interpret a dead heat in their poll as reflecting an actual small edge for Gov. Siegelman. Normally that wouldn't be good news for an incumbent to be tied or have a slight lead, but he was widely assumed to be doomed a few months ago. He was down seven points in an independent poll in May.

I'm still planning to vote for the Libertarian. Two percent of those polled agree with me.
