| Description | GANADO — Incumbent Joe Shirley Jr. and challenger Lynda Lovejoy are running neck-and-neck in the race for president of the Navajo Nation, according to a random poll at a Conoco gas station in Ganado.
After talking with 40 people, Shirley and Lovejoy evened up with 10 people each in their favor. Ten additional voters are still on the fence about who they're going to vote for, seven stated they do not vote, and three have made up their minds that neither is a good candidate.
The reasons why people would be casting their vote for either candidate remained the same when compared to a random poll taken outside Wal-Mart in Gallup two weeks ago, where three more people favored Lovejoy than for Shirley. Most people said they will be voting for Lovejoy because she's a woman and change is needed. Those voting for Shirley feel he is more experienced and want to allow him to finish what he started.
Those more familiar with issues facing the nation were in favor for Shirley, while those deciding to vote for Lovejoy had no real basis for giving her their vote. |
