Turner holds wide lead over Buzbee in new Houston mayoral runoff poll

The Nov. 5 race for Houston mayor ended in a runoff between incumbent Sylvester Turner and challenger Tony Buzbee.

Turner ended up garnering about 46 percent of the vote -- less than the 50-percent-plus-one-vote he needed to win outright. Buzbee amassed about 28 percent of the ballots.
The runoff election is Saturday.

In an exclusive new poll from KHOU 11 and Houston Public Media, Turner leads Buzbee among likely voters by 56 percent to 34 percent.

"There's really nowhere for Tony Buzbee to go and I think proof of that is he's not buying a lot of TV ads, he's not spending the kind of money he spent in the general election," said Bob Stein, KHOU political analyst.
