Tedisco Campaign Seen as More Negative; Murphy’s More Positive But By 10-Point Margin, Voters Think Tedisco Will Win the Special Election Loudonville, NY. As the special election in the 20th C.D. enters the final weekend, Democrat Scott Murphy has reversed a four-point deficit and turned it into a four-point lead over Republican Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco. Murphy leads 47-43 percent, having trailed two weeks ago by a 45-41 percent margin, according to a new Siena (College) Research Institute poll of likely voters. Tedisco’s campaign is viewed by voters as more negative by a 44-25 percent margin, while Murphy’s campaign is seen as more positive. Regardless of who they are supporting, by a 45-35 percent margin, voters think Tedisco will win the election.

But of those polled, only 22% had an unfavorable opinion of BO. Isn’t his favorable rating falling like a meteorite? That is not reflected here.

This race is all about turnout. Which side is more motivated will make the difference. Will it be grassroots conservatives and Republicans or Obamabots?

We need to win this, if only for psychological reasons.

There is talk on this site about getting the conservative grassroots network together, here is a good start. Lets test this thing out, what would be the best way to support TEDISCO?

So 8 points in what, a week or two. Somehow I don’t believe this. But it should spur Tedisco’s campaign to go into overdrive.

I don’t buy it. I believe Obama won in November because a large portion of the electorate (blacks), were motivated to be there at the polls. This time, I believe it’s Republicans and Independents who are motivated. Anyone who is sick of Pelosi, Reid and Bailouts will show up. The liberals got their saviour, there are coffee bars to visit...

The child like Libertarian candidate, Sundwall in this race has thrown
his support to the Democrat candidate, Murphy.

Libertarians, facilitating the win of the Left Wing
as they always do.

Regardless of who they are supporting, by a 45-35 percent margin, voters think Tedisco will win the election.

This is very interesting data. Why would the % of people who think Tedisco will win is the inverse of those who say they are voting for Murphy?

“Soros money is flowing in!”

I’m not surprised; Soros helps the radical lefties all the time. Would you happen to have a link to this?

Sundwall is pro-abortion, just like Murphy.
