Looks like this will be a competitive election.

Moved from the 2012 House polls to here, because the election takes place next month.

Some funny crosstabs there. It may be closer than usual, but I don't see Republicans coming too close to taking this seat.

Any reason why Weprin would only be carrying Democrats 2:1?

Even though Democrats have a huge 61%-17% lead in registered voters the district only voted 54% for Obama (and apparently disapproves of him by a 52-45 margin) so this district clearly has a lot of conservative democrats/Dinos.

The orthodox Jews are quite prevalent here, and even though they are registered as Democrats generally, they are quite conservative on national security and social issues, so many voted for McCain and could vote for Turner, although Weprin leads among Jews overall by 21 points.

my first prediction on this forum Weprin will lose this race mostly because of his redefinition of marriage support.

Careful you don't go throwing up on yourself with all that spinning you're doing there.

Safe D.  Dem +6 is just Weiner disgust, margin will probably be +15.

Because this district is all Democratic although it might not vote that way -- like Kentucky but older and more Jewish

And I'm a pumpkin -- just because I say it, doesn't make it so. If the final results are +15 absent a major development, I'll declare you to be a genius of unparalleled portions. It's not gonna happen though

What do I know? I only talk to the campaigns

Isn't 42% about what they got last year? It seems to me getting that next 8% is the challenge.

Turner got 39% in 2010, but he usually claims he got 41%

btw -- he doesn't have to make up 8% --  it's a) a turnout game, and b) standard polling practice might not be able to reach Russian and Orthodox Jewish voters as well as it should, so it's possible that it's something closer to 5%, which in a special election, isn't that much.

I decline to predict just yet Smiley  -- it'll be in the single digits though

It would be awesome if a Republican won and there was a bipartisan deal to eliminate this district and Hochul's.

It seems likely that would be the case since they would have the least seniority in the delegation. Buerkle really lucked out since she would have probably had her district axed had Lee's scandal not broken out. It's too bad that Hochul will probably lose her district since she is one of the few democrats in Congress I actually like.

Too early to call the margin but Weprin will win.

http://www.politickerny.com/2011/08/29/turner-hits-weprin-for-not-knowing-the-size-of-the-federal-deficit/

Daily News: “Right now, how big is the debt?”

Weprin: (Pause) “Trillions.”

News: “But how many?”

Weprin: “About 4 trillion.”



I guess Weprin only started counting after Obama took office.

Amusingly, the link and story says "deficit" but the actual question is re: "debt".

I have this feeling that Turner would have no clue about the size of the debt as well. Weprin is still a fool for not knowing though.
