Washington - A poll released today by the Club for Growth shows Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman surging into the lead in the special election in New York's 23rd congressional district to replace John McHugh, the former congressman who recently became Secretary of the Army.

| The poll of 300 likely voters, conducted October 24-25, 2009, shows Conservative Doug Hoffman at 31.3%, Democrat Bill Owens at 27.0%, Republican Dede Scozzafava at 19.7%, and 22% undecided. The poll's margin of error is +/- 5.66%. No information was provided about any of the candidates prior to the ballot question. |
A 300 sampling is pretty good for a district. I will send Hoffman more money this week to keep the momentum going.
I’m pleasantly shocked at Hoffman’s great performance in this poll, this could really shake up DC.
That's a big number, a huge number in politics. It's still anyone's race. It would be interesting to know the political ideology of these "undecided" voters.
This is great news...the guy replacing Rush today is talking about a poll that shows Hoffman trailing in third place.
Someone send this to Mark Bellings (Rush’s sub), he is still talking as though Hoffman doesn’t stand a chance and implying that voting for Hoffman guarantees Owens wins.
Hoffman’s doing great, I’m impressed.
I agree, Mark should see this immediately, someone please help!
Great minds think alike-—we posted the same thing.
Hoffman is looking good in the home strech, his recent fundraising is really making the difference.
I’d much rather see the Republicans return to their conservative Reagan roots, no third party for me.
If Hoffman does pull off a win, the ‘moderate’ GOP, the Dems and the MSM will be triple-teaming against Sarah and Co.
I agree with you completely about wanting the GOP to return to its roots, but a victory by Hoffman here could go a long way towards sending a message to the Republicans and turning them around.
Isn’t that Mark Davis?
If he's saying that, he shouldn't be substituting for Rush.
Wow, hopefully this poll will be reflected in others....the NRCC better get those reinforcements to the battlefield. Will a Hoffman win help Rubio in FL?
Yep, my bad, you are correct.
He is playing very theoretical in his statements (forming everything as questions) however, he is using it to lead people to an opinion about the race. He is the one guest host that always bugs me, he seems to be a Huckabee styled Republican in terms of strategy and tone.
