A district that would send a leftist #sshat like disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner to D.C. is, to quote Captain Obvious, a little left of center. It was assumed to fall easily into Democrat hands after Weinergate prompted the resignation.
Well, the seat is actually in danger of flipping red in a special election. Details:
For Democrats who hadn’t already started to panic over Tuesday’s special election in New York’s Brooklyn- and Queens-based 9th Congressional district, now would be a good time to start.
Republican Bob Turner led Democrat David Weprin by 6 points in the nonpartisan Siena College poll released this morning.
The nonpartisan survey conducted Tuesday through late Thursday found 50 percent of those polled would vote for Turner if the election were held “today” while 44 percent would vote for Weprin. Six percent of the 886 likely voters polled said they were undecided.
The numbers have flipped from a Siena poll a month ago, when Weprin had a 6-point lead. …
The seat may very well remain blue, and even if it flips red now, it will almost certainly revert to blue form next November. That said, it is hilarious to see the Dems dropping a half mill on a race that shouldn’t even be competitive. Such is the plight of the donks these days!
