A new poll shows the Mississippi gubernatorial race remains tight with less than two weeks to Election Day. It also found a majority of voters oppose impeaching and removing President Donald Trump from office.

The Mason-Dixon telephone poll of 625 voters found:

Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves leading Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood 46% to 43%.

2% support third-party candidates Bob Hickingbottom or Dave Singletary.

Remaining 9% undecided.

Other recent polls have shown a similarly competitive race, closer than any state governor contest since 2003. Republicans have controlled the governor's mansion since 2004.

Mason-Dixon pollsters indicated Trump's scheduled Nov. 1 rally in Tupelo "could be a deciding factor" and offer a "significant boost" for Reeves with GOP turnout. They noted Trump's last-minute campaigning in Louisiana recently helped force incumbent Democrat John Bel Edwards into a runoff.

"The hyper-partisan situation in Washington could hurt Hood in this strong red state," pollsters wrote. "His previous success at winning statewide office as a moderate-to-conservative Democrat is faced with a tougher than usual battle."

The poll also found 54% approved of Trump's job performance and 56% oppose impeachment.

Hood leads with women, younger people and black voters who were polled, while Reeves is ahead with older and white voters questioned.

Attacks between the candidates and from outside groups ramped up in recent weeks. The Republican Governor Association released a statement Tuesday claiming Hood's campaign and state Democrats were in "disarray," despite the close poll numbers.

Hood staffers, meanwhile, sent an email asking for donations Monday as they hope to fund a "make-or-break" last-minute blitz of television ads and outreach before the Nov. 5 election. "Tomorrow’s ad buy could be the difference between victory and defeat," it said.

The margin of error for the Mason-Dixon poll was 4 percentage points. The pollster receives a B+ accuracy grade from the politics news site FiveThirtyEight.
