New Zogby poll on NY26th district: Davis (D) 48%, Reynolds (R) 33%

On the front page of today's Buffalo News. Undecideds are 17%. That's compared to Reynolds 44, Davis 42 a week ago, and Davis 50 Reynolds 42 a few days later. This same district favored Reynolds over another Dem by 75 to 25 just four years ago.

wow. ama-a-a-a-zing. it's crippling... Foley is like Kryptonite to these super-thugs.

He looked so young. This could be one of those situations where the times make the man. What a tremendous opportunity for a young Democrat to make his mark for New York state and the country. Go Davis Go!

I believe Jack Davis the one running against Tom Reynolds is 73 years old.

There are so many to keep track of now!!! Thanks for the clarification.

:rofl:

There is even another GOP freak named Tom Reynolds: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=431445

Ive been reading the Buffalo papers and the public there is getting the idea that he wont take questions, maybe he will have the "flu" for four months, what an ass.

I'm hoping so...but I have friends and family in Hastert's district in Illinois and they say it looks like he'll weather it unless something bigger gets stuck to him.

I haven't talked to many people here about it, but the district is divided between the more populous north, and the more rural south. I live in the southern part. It's pretty solidly Republican most times, but Davis already had a good showing around here to start with, and I think this thing is going to play around here. It's a pretty quiet area, and nobody who lives here is going to like the idea of reelecting somebody who protected a predator, particularly a gay one. It's not the reputation they would want to have. Some of them might not neccessarily vote for a Democrat, but they'd do the next best thing, which is stay home on election day. Combine that with Davis being a moderate Dem (up until a few years ago he was a self-described "Goldwater Republican," which is basically a moderate-to-conservative Democrat these days) and the strong emphasis on jobs and trade (this area has been hit pretty badly by the loss of manufacturing jobs) I feel fairly confidant now in calling this a pick-up.

And even better is that real old fashioned lever machines are still used in NY, right?

One down, 220 more to go. Who's next?

:nopity:

My faith in the American public is slowly returning. Very slowly.

I think Davis is probably ahead, but not by that much.
