As anticipated, some races for secondary statewide offices appear to have tightened as election day 2006 nears. A new (October 9th) TvPoll.com measurement for KWTV-Channel 9 follows a late September poll that found some surprisingly close numbers in some races.

The new poll found Attorney General Drew Edmondson at 54.9, with Republican challenger James Dunn at 30.2 percent and the undecided at 14.9 percent.

Labor Commissioner Brenda Reneau had 44 percent to 36.1 percent for Democrat Lloyd Fields with about 20 percent undecided.

Insurance Commission Kim Holland had 36.2 percent to Republican Bill Case's 35.6 percent with 28.2 percent undecided.

Auditor & Inspector Jeff McMahan had 39.5 percent to 35.4 percent for Republican challenger Gary Jones.

Treasurer Scott Meacham had 46.8 percent to Republican Howard Barnett's 34.1 percent with about 19 percent undecided.

Corporation Commissioner Bob Anthony had 45.7 percent to Democrat Cody Graves' 39.1 percent with 15.2 percent undecided.
