Clements, White disagree
on results of opinion polls
rt
nplex
rkers
AUSTIN (AP) — Republican gu
bernatorial candidate Bill Clements
and incumbent Democrat Mark
White each say that new opinion
polls reflect good news for them.
Clements, the former governor
ousted by White in 1982, told The
Dallas Morning News that a recent
survey he commissioned shows him
with a comfortable lead over White.
White’s campaign disputed that
Wednesday, saying its most recent
survey and those of other politicians
show White rapidly gaining ground
on Clements.
Neither side agreed to make the
actual poll results public.
In an interview with a News re
porter in Uvalde, Clements said a
survey' by his pollster, Richard
Wirthlin of Washington D.C.,
showed him leading White.
The newspaper Wednesday
quoted “campaign insiders” as say
ing the margin was more than 20
points. It said the survey of 600
likely voters was taken Aug. 23-24
and had a margin of error of plus or
minus 4 percentage points.
Clements said the poll disputes
suggestions by Democrats that White
has closed the gap because of his
leadership in calling the Legislature
into special session and advocating a
temporary tax increase to solve the
state’s fiscal crisis.
“All this nonsense that the White
people are putting out that he is a
great hero and making progress
with the special session is nothing
more than baloney,” Clements said.
But Mark McKinnon, White’s
campaign press secretary, said
White’s polls show positive results
for the governor.
“Our polls show dramatically dif
ferent numbers,” McKinnon said.
“There are congressional district
polls where we have moved 10 to 12
points in the last month.”
He also charged the Clements
camp with claiming a big lead to hide
the results he said White’s polls are
showing.
“We think they’re floating bad
numbers because they’re getting
desperate,” McKinnon said. “The
numbers are shifting dramatically in
our direction.”

Massey, who was serving seven
years for a burglary conviction from
Tarrant County, suffered numerous
stab wounds to his head, neck, back
and chest during the March 19, 1985
attack in a recreation room.
Monitoring the high-security area
of the Darrington Unit with tele
vision cameras was a new policy
when the stabbing death was taped.
Officials said the recorder had been
installed in an effort to cut down on
inmate violence.
Prosecutor Paul Johnson played
the tape twice Tuesday for jurors in
Barfield’s trial. The tape showed
Barfield, 30, chase Massey around
the small recreation room before he
caught the victim and began stab
bing him a few feet from the camera.
“Boss, boss,” Massey yelled to at
tract the attention of the guards.
The entire scene lasted about 45
seconds. Massey was rushed to the
prison infirmary where he died a
lew minutes later.
