But this looks like it will go down to the wire:
With less than three weeks to go before the March 31 special election, Democrat Scott Murphy has slashed Republican James Tedisco’s apparent lead to just four percentage points, according to a Siena Research Institute poll released Thursday.
The new poll has Tedisco ahead of Murphy 45 percent to 41 percent in the race to fill the open 20th Congressional District seat.
The institute sampled 712 likely voters in the district by phone on Monday and Tuesday. The poll’s margin of error is 3.7 percentage points.
Murphy cut Tedisco’s lead by two-thirds since Siena released a poll two weeks ago.
This is to fill the seat vacated by Kirsten Gillibrand when she was appointed to fill Hillary’s Senate seat – its pretty much a swing district, but Gillibrand was re-elected with nearly 62% of the vote this past November. If this seat switches to the GOP it will be quite a blow to Democrats and show that the bloom is rapidly coming off the rose.
If you live in the district, get out there and help Tedisco; if you don’t live in the district, you can still donate. Here is Tedisco’s website – lets win this one for the GOP and drive the first nail in the Democrats’ political coffin.
