Return to Story IndexPOLITICAL POLL
EYEWITNESS NEWS POLITICAL REPORTER KENNIE BASS TALKS WITH A NATIONAL COMMENTATOR ABOUT THE NUMBERS AND WHAT THEY MEAN. Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Coming off of a landslide victory in the democratic primary, many observers say Governor Joe Manchin was on a fast track to the nation's capital. But a new Rasmussen poll shows Manchin may have a fight on his hands. In a survey of 500 likely voters, Manchin was favored over Republican John Raese 48 to 42 percent. A national political commentator says that shows chinks in Manchin's armor. Dick Morris/Political Commentator: Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Since declaring about a month ago to run, Raese has waged an aggressive television and radio campaign. Meanwhile, Manchin has been relatively quiet. His supporters say the Rasmussen poll isn't consistent with others they've seen...and that the organization leans toward the GOP. But Raese says he offers voters a clear choice in November. John Raese/(R) U.S. Senate Candidate: Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: The same poll shows Manchin with a more than 70 percent approval rating. But Morris says Washington is a very different stage and setting than Charleston. Dick Morris/Political Commentator: Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News in Charleston. WE CONTACTED GOVERNOR MANCHIN'S CAMPAIGN TO GET FURTHER COMMENT ABOUT THE RASMUSSEN POLL, BUT HE WAS OUT OF TOWN AND UNAVAILABLE TO DO AN INTERVIEW.

EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR PATRICK MCMURTRY HAS THE INFORMATION YOU NEED IN THIS WEEK'S BEHIND THE KITCHEN DOOR. We're coming to you from my favorite sushi restaurant, Ichiban, for this week's Behind the Kitchen Door. There's a couple of reasons and I'll get to that in a minute, but first we start out at Mayberry's at 1481 MacCorkle Avenue in St. Albans. Inspectors found 8 violations, 1 critical. There was an open drink in the food prep area, too much soap in the dishwasher final rinse cycle, the can opener holder was dirty and the wet wiping cloth was not stored in sanitizer solution. I talked to Lisa, one of the managers over at Mayberry's and she said all the violations were corrected on the spot. Up next, the Shoney's at 10th Street in Dunbar. Inspectors found 6 violations, 1 critical. There wasn't any sanitizer in the final rinse cycle of the dishwasher, no soap at the handsink and no towel and the employee restroom hand sink. That's it for this week. Now for the reason we're here at Ichiban. There are two reasons, actually. First, they received the only perfect score this week, and second, the General Manager, Fritz is marrying his longtime sweetheart and the hostess here, Andy, Saturday. They're a great couple. Congratulations on both fronts, Fritz. Don't forget, you can get your first look at Behind the Kitchen Door Thursday on Eyewitness News This Morning. I'm Patrick McMurtry, I'll see you then.
