Bill Graham's campaign says it was misquoted by a Dunn paper.
In a column today, Dunn Daily Record publisher Hoover Adams claimed that a Graham spokesman said the Salisbury attorney was ahead in polls of his Republican and Democratic competition for governor. He quoted campaign consultant Tom Fetzer on who well Graham is doing:
"It's too early to tell," said Tom, giving an honest answer.
"But," he was quick to add, "I am happy to add that all polls show Bill is leading both Richard Moore and Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue, with Moore a few points ahead of Perdue."
Aaron Lay, a spokesman for Graham, said that's not true. In August, the campaign released results of its own poll showing him leading the GOP field, but Lay said that was the extent of it.
"We haven't done head to head (polling) with Democrats," he said.
