Republican Bob Turner holds a six-point lead in next week's special election to replace disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., according to a new Siena College poll released early Friday that shows voters in the overwhelmingly Democratic district are poised to deliver a stinging rebuke to President Obama and his party.

Turner leads Democratic Assemblyman David Weprin in the poll, 50 percent to 44 percent. Six percent of likely voters in the Sept. 13th election are undecided.

NEW YORK CITY!?!

Wow...

Dare we say that this is a harbinger of things to come?

This is not just in NYC, because as we know republicans can win in parts of NYC this is part of NYC where republicans dont win..

Easy to explain. Part of this is a backlash to Weiner, of course. But a good chunk of it is a statement on Owebama. As a special election, though, it is rather meaningless. People are more willing to gamble with their vote and step outside of traditional voting patterns when it doesn't change the government.

Nah. You gotta remember the paradox of the liberal Jew -- they're willing to overlook liberal hatred of Israel and, in some cases, also hate Israel and stand with Palestine. It's a semi-complicated issue, but trust me, if they voted based on Israel they wouldn't be Democrats.

This is representative Weiner's district who recently resigned. A very heavy liberal district of Brooklyn and Queens district--which has given us Charlie Schumer.

And Democrats are very concerned that if a Republican can win here--they can win anywhere.


This coming Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2011 is the election in this district. One to keep an eye on anyway.

A Turner victory would be an ominous sign for Democrats and President Obama’s re-election campaign, as the district, which spans Brooklyn and Queens, is filled with the kind of white, middle-class, usually reliable Democratic voters that the president needs in his corner to get re-elected.

But the poll found voters in the district are down on the president, and the direction of the country.

Forty-three percent have a favorable opinion of Obama, while 54 percent have an unfavorable opinion, according to the poll. Nineteen percent believe the U.S. is on the right track, ” while 74 percent say the country is on the wrong track. Both sets of numbers are largely unchanged from a month ago.
What has changed is the voters’ views of the candidates: Weprin’s unfavorable ratings shot up, to 41 percent, from 24 percent a month ago. And by a 43-32 percent margin, likely voters say Turner is running the more positive campaign

“It’s a perfect storm for Turner and the Republicans,” said Steven Greenberg, a spokesman for the Siena Research Institute.

Sensing the seat could be slipping away, the national Democratic Party has begun pouring money into the race – including a $500,000 infusion this week from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Even if Weprin can pull out a victory, it is still an enormous expenditure in an election Democrats once believed was a lock.

With the possibility of a monumental upset now within reach, the Republican National Committee answered with an email appeal this afternoon seeking donations, saying the money was needed because “the Obama Democrats just put $500,000 into the race to defeat Bob Turner and keep this seat in their liberal hands.”

“We have a strong conservative candidate in Bob Turner who has the opportunity to win a congressional seat in the heart of New York City,” party Chairman Reince Priebus wrote in the email. “He is facing a career politician who will vote in lockstep with Nancy Pelosi in support of Barack Obama’s failed economic policies.”
