Norwood Leads Crowded Field In Atlanta’s Mayor Race
Mary Norwood, attempting another try to becoming Atlanta Mayor after falling just short 8 years ago, leads a crowded field according to a WSB TV poll by Landmark Communications/Rosetta Stone. (i.e, Mark Rountree & John Garst)
Norwood leads the field of 8 with 28.6 percent, just edging out “undecided” at 28%. No other named candidate is in double digits.
Several candidates are grouped in the high single digits, including Vincent Fort (9.3%), Keisha Lance Bottoms (8.6%), and Ceasar Mitchell (8.0%). The next tier includes Cathy Woolard (6.1%), Kwanza Hall (5.8%). Further down, John Eaves is at 3.8%, and Peter Aman at 1.8%.
Also polled was the race for City Council President, which has almost half of those polled undecided (49.2%). Of those having a preference, Felicia Moore is leading at 23.7% with C.T. Martin close behind at 21.8%. Alex Wan is a distant third at 9.5%.

Statement from Peter Aman on the recent WSB poll:
“This poll reflects the fact that I haven’t been in public office for a decade or more, or run for several different offices, like most of my opponents. I am focused on building the necessary infrastructure to run a winning campaign. We have not yet surfaced. We are confident that when we do, it will be reflected in the polls.”
Not surprising given Name Rec from previous run + at large member, but important to realize that with this many people running, getting above 20% could be a path to the runoff.
