THE Country Liberal Party’s candidate for Fannie Bay, Tracey Hayes, says the Territory Alliance Party polling is dated and she is comfortable with what her own party’s polling is showing about her rating against incumbent Michael Gunner.
“I’m more than happy with what polling I have seen and the support I am getting at the doorstep,” Ms Hayes said.
“The only similarity in the polling is that the Gunner Government is on the nose and it has a serious trust deficit.
“There is deep concern out there about the mess the Gunner Government has made of the last four years.
“I am not letting polling distract me, I am focused on the Fannie Bay electorate and letting them know how I will make a difference for them.”

Member for Araluen Robyn Lambley says MediaReach polling suggesting she will hang on to her seat at the August 22 Territory election means little to her.
However, Ms Lambley said she was encouraged by the polling of her Alliance colleague in Braitling Dale McIver.
“Polling is just that, it’s polling,” Ms Lambley said.
“But in Dale McIver’s case, the polling was done only just after she was named as the Alliance candidate in Braitling.
“And for the poll to have her ahead as the preferred candidate speaks volumes about the high regard she is held in.”
