Poll in NY-18
Former Rep. Nan Hayworth (R/C/IP) 44%, Sean Maloney (D/WF) 40%
Terrible polling for the incumbent, Maloney. Hopefully Hayworth will take her seat back (along with a few others in Dem-overrepresented NY).
Hayworth is no prize (she’s like Sue Kelly Version 2.0), but way preferable to that gay ultraliberal RAT. I like Hayworth’s chances, particularly since she, not Maloney, will be on the Independence Party ballot line.
That CD is one of a handful nationwide that went GOP in 2002 and 2004, RAT in 2006 and 2008, GOP in 2010 and RAT in 2012, perfectly matching the national electirate’s mood. Hopefully it will swing back to the GOP in what’s looking like a very good GOP year.
