Nixon has a slight edge in the 2008 contest, but he can't take it for granted. I would say average the SUSA and Rasmussen Poll shows about where he is.

He needs to make sure he can keep the urban base and not get killed in rural areas. He is likely more popular then Claire in rural areas (also the governorship is less ideological then the US Senate), but he is not as popualar in the urban areas of the state due to his testy relationship with blacks.
