I know Uni polls are Uni polls, but why do these political science professors even bother releasing polls involving two fairly known incumbent Senators with 20% undecided?  It's just setting themselves up for credibility lost.

It's obvious bad methodology and if they want to learn something they should continue tweaking their production methods until they produce sound numbers.

Who could have won this seat besides the celebrity politicians like Giuliani and maybe Pataki?

I know Uni polls are Uni polls, but why do these political science professors even bother releasing polls involving two fairly known incumbent Senators with 20% undecided?  It's just setting themselves up for credibility lost.

Gillibrand isn't fairly known.  That's whole the point - 36% of voters have no opinion of her.  The only people less well known are her opponents and any other Republican running this cycle.  It's not obviously bad methodology to reflect reality.

Missed opportunity, indeed.  Gillibrand is below water on the generic "elect or prefer someone else" question (34% elect; 40% someone else; 27% don't know).

I think you answered your own question.  Add to that maybe Peter King, if he wanted to run.  The NYS GOP bench is very thin.

It probably doesn't matter but its telling that all the Polls point to DioGuardi as the best of these three sacrificial lambs. The state GOP really screwed this one up. If any party could be taken over by the tea party, why couldn't it be the NY GOP, at this point it would be a big improvement. Roll Eyes
