“Anyone know if Doug Hoffman ever polled in the lead in NY23?”
Yes PPP had Hoffman in the lead a couple days before the election.
Beat meby 32 seconds.
The Hoffman race isn’t a good comparison because the GOP candidate achieved enough votes to give the election to the Dem. If she had dropped out, Hoffman would likely have won.
The third candidate in MA, Kennedy, is only polling 3%. It’s less likely he’ll be as much of a factor as Scuzzifava (whatever) was.
