General Election Matchup
Childers……51
Davis………39
Childers, whose base in Mississippi’s First District is in the Tupelo area, defeated Davis, mayor of a suburban Memphis town, by 8 points in the June special election. Republicans have been pessimistic about Davis’ chances in a repeat bid, given both his lackluster performance this Summer and the fact that his base is in what they characterize as the wrong part of the district.
Childers is also popular among his new constituents. 55% of district voters see him favorably, while just 24% see him unfavorably. Davis’ own ratings are 40% favorable to 32% unfavorable.
