CHRISTON, Wilk. -- He won by a sliver of the vote in the 2016 election, and now Wilkonshire Governor Tom Durick (pronounced "Dure-rick") is facing even steeper odds going into his 2020 re-election race.
In 2016, Durick eventually became governor after weeks of recounting. He barely edged out Christon Mayor Tara Hadley (C).
Now Hadley is running again, and a recent Insiders poll shows Hadley leading Durick by three points, 49% to 46%, respectively.
Durick also trails Conservative political newcomer Charlie Dunn by an even larger margin, 44%-53%, respectively.
Dunn has never run for office before. He owns an office supply company in Teaupederie.
Durick has the advantage in the money race. He has $1.3 million on hand as of December 1. Hadley has $800,000 and Dunn has not yet filed a report, so his financial status is unclear.
Wilkonshire is a battleground state, with a relatively even number of CNS and NAT voters.
The poll found Durick performing best in the liberal stronghold of Bradford, the state's second-largest city. He also does well in the state capital Provincetown and in the southern suburbs of Christon.
Hadley and Dunn both have the clear edge in the state's largest city Christon and its suburbs. The Conservative candidates also receive strong support in the southern city of Petersboro, as well as Oak Valley and Jaffling in the western half of the state.
The poll found the state's northeast corner is virtually evenly split between the two political parties.
