The Democratic primary battle between Mayor Byron Brown and Mickey Kearns has intensified, as everyone knows, and the latest poll has the race at a virtual dead heat. And this poll was conducted last Wednesday and Thursday before the latest allegations regarding Mayor Brown and Leonard Stokes. The poll's validity, which was conducted by SurveyUSA on behalf of WGRZ, has some questions but it stands as the only quasi-scientific publicly available data point on candidate support.

The candidates provided the expected responses to the polling data. Mayor Brown said "I don't think those numbers are accurate," while Mickey Kearns said "There's no way you can spin it, that we are in this race and this race is a dead heat."
Now, we've used our weekly poll to attempt to measure the Brown - Kearns race before. And we had some very unusual activity.
With only 5 days left until the primary, we thought we'd switch our weekly poll to try and gauge candidate support yet again.
So tell us - who are you going to vote for?
Go Mickey!
