Poll Watch: Democrat Scott Murphy Holds 4 Point Lead Over Jim Tedisco in NY-20 But……
Posted by Flap in Jim Tedisco, Polling
The conventional wisdom is Republican Jim Tedisco will pick up this seat for the GOP in New York’s 20th Congressional District (A seat opened when incumbent Democrat Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand was appointed to replace Hillary clinton in the U.S. Senate).
The latest Siena Research poll says otherwise.
As the NY-20 special election enters the final weekend, Scott Murphy (D) has reversed a four-point deficit and turned it into a four-point lead over Jim Tedisco (R), according to a new Siena Research poll.
Murphy now leads 47% to 43% among likely voters, having trailed two weeks ago by a 45% to 41% margin.
Key findings: Tedisco’s campaign is viewed by voters as more negative by a 44% to 25% percent margin, while Murphy’s campaign is seen as more positive.
But…..
Tedisco internal polling shows a tight race with him leading.
This race will come down to turnout and how successful the Obama machine is post-election.
The election is next Tuesday.
