CHARLESTON -- A new poll released by the Tomblin for Governor campaign shows Governor Tomblin has pulled to a 14 point lead in the Democratic primary and has the highest favorable rating of any candidate at 62 percent.

The campaign attributes the showing to the belief among West Virginians that Tomblin is doing a good job already, with 77% approving of the job he's doing as Acting Governor. The Tomblin campaign pointed his lowering of the food tax, his veto of the DMV fee hikes, and the effort he has made to bring companies like Macy's to West Virginia to create jobs.
