The latest news out of Vermont:
Results from the first head-to-head poll of the 2016 race for governor have arrived. And the VPR Poll, conducted by the Castleton Polling Institute, shows Republican Phil Scott and Democrat Sue Minter locked in a statistical dead heat with just under three weeks until Election Day.
The general-population poll of 650 Vermonters – it used both cell phones and landlines – was conducted between Sept. 29 and Oct. 14.
Of the 579 respondents determined to be “likely” voters, the poll shows Phil Scott taking 39 percent of the vote, and Sue Minter getting 38 percent. That’s well within the survey’s 3.9 percent margin of error, and means the candidates are locked in a tie as they head down the home stretch.
