This poll is actually better for Turner than the poll by McLaughlin from a few days ago, and is validated by this morning's Tweet by Tom Jensen of PPP (the Democrat polling outfit) that after the first day of polling in the NY-09 Democrats are in "BIG trouble." For the first time, I truly think that we're going to pick up this Queens/Brooklyn congressional district with a large Jewish population that hasn't sent a Republican to Congress since 1922.

It looks good, until the fraud kicks in.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

WOW! This is fantastic! Hope you can pull it off. Every little victory like this is another brick in the wall! :)

[Paradox]

I am gobsmacked. Dogs and cats, sleeping together. What hath Weiner wrought.

[CSI007]

Wait for the actual election before getting hopes up.

[AuH2ORepublican]

Great news out of New York; the GOP is poised to take Weiner’s House seat on Tuesday. It looks like we will win both congressional special elections on Tuesday (the one in Nevada is pretty much a sure thing given the huge GOP turnout among early voters).

[jennychase]

I doubt, this is to scare democrats and make them vote plus Union will kick in.

[Twotone]

Of course, this is ‘likely’ voters. The Dems will be getting out the ‘unlikely’ voters – like those living under headstones.

[The_Victor]

So I take it that democRAT support in Wiener’s district has gone soft....

[CincyRichieRich]

Will there be any Republicans there manning the polls? Any Diebold machines stored in car trunks? Any Black Panther friendlies present?

[ken5050]

Extra bonus.since the Dems will refuse to admit that this is a repudiation, in a hevily Dem district, of Obama’s policies...they will say that this is because voters were DISGUSTED with Weiner’s behavior...they were sending a message...IOW..Weiner’s toast.....no comeback for him..

[arrogantsob]

I’ll believe it when the vote is official.

[jakerobins]

Won’t happen. This is NY......the deciding last minute votes can always be dug up for Dems! The guy will probably get Franken’d....

[no dems]

Can you imagine the shock-waves this would send through D.C. if Anthony Weenie’s seat went to a Pubbie?

[no dems]

This is good news, but, watch the money come in and Union thugs be out if full force, before Tuesday. OUR BEST HOPE IS FOR A HELLACIOUS RAIN STORM ON ELECTION DAY AND THE UNMOTIVATED DEMS STAY HOME!!!

The liberals’ pollstrs PPP hve a poll coming out with similar numbers judging from their teaser tweets:

“

If David Weprin wins this race, he’s going to win it in the final 5 days.

My pretty straight forward take on the first night of our NY-9 poll: Dems in BIG trouble. It deserves the caps.

[Logical me]

Most of NY voters have yet to get their head out of their collective as@. These idiots would vote them less pay, more taxes, excessive cost for commodities, etc etc etc. Can't convince the ignorant.

[outofsalt]

Grabbing Weiners post in a special erection would be hard to beat!

...hasn't sent a Republican to Congress since 1922.

That's not a very meaningful thing to say, since districts have been changed geographically every ten years with redistricting, and since urban ethnic geographic distribution patterns changed markedly over the years. The county of Queens as a whole, for instance, was mostly Republican and mostly small-town with even some rural areas until after WWII.

As for the current Turner-Weprin race, something very unusual is happening: The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has begun running 30-second ads for Weprin on local NYC TV stations. That's almost unheard of for a NYC House district election, since NYC advertising is relatively expensive and their candidates have generally been shoo-ins. So it's a tip-off that the 'Rats are running scared.

As to the content of the ad, nothing surprising there. Turner is portrayed as a jet-setting fatcat who wants to maintain tax breaks for corporations, reduce benefits for Social Security and Medicare, and is a threat to the middle class. The ad ends with touting the New York Slimes endorsement of Weprin.

The only way OTrauma gets another term is if he calls off all elections and turns the military out on American citizens.

[Tanniker Smith]

I'll believe it when it happens and not before. Doesn't matter if he loses by six or loses by two or even just a hundred votes.

I'm hoping he wins, of course, but I'm not taking anything for granted.
