FREDDIE O'CONNELL (D) LEADS ALICE ROLLI (R) BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN THE RACE FOR NASHVILLE MAYOR

Nashville, TN – Show Me Victories, a full-service political consulting company based in St. Louis, MO, conducted a survey of 430 registered voters in Davidson County who are likely to vote in the September 14 Metro Nashville Mayoral runoff election. The results showed Freddie O’Connell with support of 58% of Nashville voters and Alice Rolli with 40%, with 2% undecided. Of the 2% of undecided voters, 91% of them are leaning toward voting for O’Connell.

“O’Connell is the clear front runner in the race for Nashville Mayor,” stated Show Me Victories Senior Political Strategist, Braxton Payne. “83% of O’Connell voters strongly support his candidacy and 91% of undecided of voters pick O’Connell as their first choice.” O’Connell’s positive campaign has resonated with Nashville voters.

A vast majority of Nashville voters think Nashville is heading in the wrong direction. 66% of Nashville voters view Nashville as heading in the wrong direction, while 34% say Nashville is heading in the right direction. Only 34% of voters approve of Mayor John Cooper’s job performance, while 49% disapprove.

Nashville voters view quality public education as the most pressing issue facing Nashville. When asked to rank the most important issues facing Nashville, voters viewed quality public education, improving public transportation, and affordable childcare as the top three issues facing Nashville. Voters were the least passionate about crime and public safety, along with commercial development.

“Rolli’s campaign has focused on taxes, public safety, and improving schools. While Rolli is in line with voters on improving schools, taxes, and public safety rank five and seven respectively out of eight issues. “Rolli’s only hope in turning around the results is to turnout her base vote that believe crime and taxes are the most pressing issues facing Nashville,” stated Braxton Payne. “O’Connell’s campaign has focused on expanding childcare, affordable housing, and public transportation. All three of his campaign issues rank in the top four. Voters believe Nashville is heading in the wrong direction, but O’Connell is in line with Nashville voters on the issues they care most about.”

doesn't make people so complacent that they assume it's safe to stay home. There are some important down ballot races, and we need to run up the numbers as starkly as possible to send a message that despite the GOP's gerrymandering and attempts to break our spirit, Nashville is still True Blue!
