    Poll Roundup: 10/13 | 83 comments
    Most Interesting of the Night:
    NY-01 and NY-23.

    Honorable Mention to PA-12.

    26, Male, Democrat, TX-26


    Good numbers overall
    Bishop is excellent news.  Even getting 25% of Republican votes!


    21,Democrat, NY-02, male

    for Democrats...
    I'd say Tim Bishop is the best news, Sanford Bishop is one of the worst of the lot.  

    [ Parent ]
    The TimB poll
    is independent. The SanfordB poll is Republican. So the latter is probably overstating Dem weakness by a good bit - while still having him up.

    I'll make a prediction though: The same outfit will have SanfordB down in a couple weeks' time, and we'll go on to win it anyway. :)

    Rush Holt
    ...was the most disturbing to me. But was watching a New Jersey station over the weekend and was surprised to see the CoC going after him and hard.  He'd been pretty much forgotten and his district was created to protect him.  He's always seemed a very good Congressman and would hate to lose him (but highly doubt we will).

    [ Parent ]
    Turnout
    Holt has to be careful, NJ is one of the very few states (I think 3 by my quick count) without a governor or senate race this election.  Holt has to ensure that his voters don't get lazy because you have to believe that Republicans will be out in full force no matter what.  Very few undecideds in the poll, but anybody who thought that this race would be a slam dunk was mistaken from the get-go.  Yes, Holt has been there for a while is pretty well liked, but in an environment like this one and given the make-up of the district especially Monmouth County this always had the makeup of a potentially difficult one.

    [ Parent ]
    Well that's always the case.
    Nothing new about their not being a governor's race in a congressional year, sinc ethta never happens in NJ.  And the Senate races in NJ don't always draw turnout.  He knows how to win, I'll trust him.

    [ Parent ]
    True
    I just am very eerie, I know Holt won't take things for granted but he really has to have a good GOTV operation this eyar.  They've got 3 debates coming up, voters will certainly know the candidates fully by election day, I'd like to see some more polling here in the coming weeks.  I think this poll has proven it is worth while.

    [ Parent ]
    Siena
    Siena's numbers seem too good to be true, first they were waaay off in the primary, second, every Dem they poll gets a huge amount of GOP support. Their numbers are as weird as SUSA

    22, Male, Conservative Republican, anti-teabag, NY-8

    [ Parent ]
    I don't think so...
    For instance, there are lots of moderate Republicans on Long Island, so Bishop's 25% support with them doesn't strike me as implausible at all.

    [ Parent ]
    Yes, the last Rockefeller Republicans
    are rampant upstate and on the Island.  It's probably why as close as the numbers seen (and considering there are likely three statewide Dem blowouts), it will be hard for the GOP to pick up much here outside of 29's open seat.

    [ Parent ]
    Top of Ticket NY
    You guys are making a mistake, lets take PPP's poll that has Cuomo up by 15 points, if he wins by 15 points, he still might lose over 10 districts in NY! Look at the PVIs! He'll probably lose in NY-1 unless he wins by 24 pts at least!

    22, Male, Conservative Republican, anti-teabag, NY-8

    [ Parent ]
    Since that PPP poll,
    polls with these margins have been published:

    +24
    +18
    +14
    +31
    +23

    I have a feeling the margin's going to be well above 15. That is, unless Mr. Paladino says absolutely nothing between now and the election - not even to his wife (or mistress).

    I'm in New York's 2nd District, like you
    I was surprised that it was considered a contestable race. But it was, or is, and it looks like Bishop responded accordingly. I'm not particularly fond of protectionist ads, but at this point, I can't complain if it's getting the job done. In the grand scheme of things, that's far from the worst they could do.

    CA-11
    Nice to see the McNerney internal.  Confirms where I suspected they would be at, and why the spending is tapering out in this race.  In my mind, it's in the Lean Dem column.

    McNerney
    Hard to know on this one. SUSA has Harmer up by 6, but partly as a function of winning 18-34 year olds by 47-43. That number seems very unrealistic to me.

    http://www.surveyusa.com/clien...


    [ Parent ]
    That is a good point
    IMO, if people like John Hall and McNerney hold on, we can keep the House. If not, not. . .

    [ Parent ]
    SUSA is junk
    I looked at the crosstabs, it's a crap poll.  He's probably not up by the +10 his internal suggests but I'm guessing it's enough.

    [ Parent ]
    Again, it's SUSA...
    SUSA sucks. I don't take them seriously.

    Unless someone more respected shows Harmer ahead, my money's still on McNerney.

    Yes, Virginia, there ARE progressives in Nevada!
    24, gay male, Democrat, NV-03 (or 04?)


    [ Parent ]
    Harmer is winning all age groups according to SUSA
    I buy this more than some other SUSAs just because Harmer's not dramatically overperforming with young people--he's doing about the same with them as he is with everyone else. Remember, John McCain actually won young people in many places--I remember it coming up before that he won the 18-29 set in Georgia even though he only carried the state by 5. So this could be a case of no generational gap in voting.

    The only screwy thing about this poll is that Harmer leads among Hispanics, but they only make up 10% of the sample (60 people or so) so there's a massive MoE there.

    With leaners, Reid's up 3...
    46-43 in the new Suffolk poll, so it seems the previously undecideds are starting to break slightly toward Reid (along with a good chunk of them going to NOTA), which is a good sign.

    It really just comes down to turnout now. As long as we turn out starting on Saturday (when early voting begins!), we'll win (both Harry Reid in NV-Sen & Dina Titus in NV-03).

    Yes, Virginia, there ARE progressives in Nevada!
    24, gay male, Democrat, NV-03 (or 04?)


    I'm counting on you
    to win this for us, atd. Don't let me down! ;-)

    I shook his hand last night! I FINALLY SHOOK HIS HAND, PRAISE JEEBUS!

    Sorry for the blurriness. I was being pushed and prodded in all directions by the crowd AND Secret Service last night, so I didn't have the time (and no one else had the patience) for me to get a really good pic. ;-)

    And btw, here I am canvassing my precinct last month, here I am with my fabulous Congresswoman while we were making calls at the NV Dems office, here I am with my fave Senator who I keep telling y'all will win next month, and here's the Henderson neighborhood I canvassed last weekend.

    Yes, Virginia, there ARE progressives in Nevada!

    Nice!
    The picture with Clinton is fantastic. The blurriness of it makes it even better, captures the feeling of the campaign season.

    I'm impressed by all that you're doing. It's almost enough to guilt me into going out to canvas for Bloomy!


    [ Parent ]
    Thanks!
    Not like I'm trying to guilt anyone here into GOTV... ;-)

    I usually don't get so partisan here b/c I don't want to sound like a cheerleader here. What I say here is honestly what I see on the ground... Good, bad, ugly, and just downright bizarre. And yes, it feels quite special to be in the midst of two of the most talked about and hotly contested races (NV-Sen & NV-03) for a change. When I lived in Cali, I had always lived in a "safe seat" in a "safe state".

    Yes, Virginia, there ARE progressives in Nevada!

    Is the ground operation
    for Reid and other Nevada Democrats really that strong?  

    "I have never deliberately given anybody hell. I just tell the truth on the opposition-and they think it's hell."--President Harry Truman. President Obama, are you listening?

    [ Parent ]
    Yes, it is...
    And the GOP has next to none. That's why the NRSC is dumping in some last-minute GOTV money, and why Angle is relying on Karl Rove's 527 to essentially do GOTV for her. NSDP has offices all over Vegas and Reno, and even has organizers working the rurals. They've been in the field since last year for Reid and Titus, and they've been ID'ing Dem voters while the GOP was engaged in all this wild infighting.

    Again, very glad to see T Bishop up like that, he's a great progressive in a swing district.

    Where is the Sestak poll with him up 2?

    29/D/Male/NY-01


    CA-Gov: NOW calls on Brown to fire "whore" perpetrator
    Franklin and Marshall Eyeroll
       They had Barletta leading Kanjorski 40-35 in October of 2008.  Kanjorski won 52-48 in November.  I will believe Kanjorski loses when I see it.

    24, Male, GA-05

    Even if he loses, Barletta is only renting that seat until 2012
    Barletta is way out of step ideologically with this district. Against a non-damaged Democrat in 2012, I'd expect him to be swamped.

    [ Parent ]
    Redistricting could save him
    He would get a more Republican seat and Chris Carney would get the more Democratic parts of his. Pretty funny actually--they gerrymandered NEPA for one Republican and one Democrat in 2002 and that's what they could end up with, except with the Dem in the conservative seat and the Rep in the liberal one.

    20, CD MA-03/NH-01/MA-08

    [ Parent ]
    Probably right.
       What's funny too is that Kanjorski actually LOST the areas of the district from the pre-2002 boundaries.

    FWIW, Nate Silver
    seems to be in the process of updating his Senate forecast. No article update has been posted, but the numbers seem to have increased from 51.5D to 52.1D.

    Looks like he now has IL and WV tilting Dem, and NV has become an even lighter shade of pink. Colorado has also seen some movement, though he still has it leaning R by about 2:1.

    This has been a great week for Dems in Senate polling.

    What Is Andrew Cuomo Doing to Help New York Democrats?
    It's clear that he's going to sweep the governor's race, just like Schumer and Gillibrand are going to sweep the Senate races, and with that could come some nice coattails. But what else can he do? What is preventing him from making stops in the congressional districts that might be competitive? What about using his campaign funds to help them? If he can help support any New York Democrats that might be vulnerable, that would free up funds for other races in the Northeast.

    Or is this not allowed or already being done?

    "I have never deliberately given anybody hell. I just tell the truth on the opposition-and they think it's hell."--President Harry Truman. President Obama, are you listening?


    State Senate

    Cuomo must be very interested in keep a democratic majority in the state senate. I hope he help something to the candidates in the competitive seats.

    [ Parent ]
    Exactly
    It's not as if he was ever expected to face a serious challenge, and if what I remember reading is correct, he racked up a lot of money. Advertising in downstate New York is expensive, but assuming he didn't blow through it all, you have to hope he's working with other Democrats around the state to do what he can (legally, of course). In fact, if he's got a few million saved up, you have to wonder why he hasn't been asked, or why he hasn't volunteered, to use some of the money to help Hall, Murphy and Acuri, among others. That is, if neither of those things has already happened. There's a little over two weeks left. It could make a big difference.

    Separation of News and Editorials
    As at most papers, I assume there's a separation at the NYT between the news side and the opinion-editorial side. The reporting at the Wall Street Journal is generally excellent; their opinion pieces are another "story" altogether.

    What's up with Paul Kanjorski?
    Been in Washington too long? I mean - he was supposed to lose in 2008, won because of Obama's coattails, and now it looks like he's gone again.

    It's good to see David McNerney fighting back against that SurveyUSA poll from yesterday. Isn't it weird that SurveyUSA is finding House races where the Democrat is losing overall, but winning among early voters that have already voted?

    I would be interested to hear what people make of that.


    Dems in CA have the better field operation
    Early voting is more important for Democrats in general because they have strong support among "unlikely voters" who may not show up on Nov. 2 but can be prodded into voting early. Many Republican voters are old-school traditionalists who prefer to vote on Election Day itself.

    Looking at 2008, 58% of Floridians cast their vote early and 42% on Nov 4th. Obama won the early voters by 18 points but lost same-day voters by 18. In Georgia, Obama won early voters by 2 points but lost same-day voters by 21.

    Speaking of house races
    Driehaus acts like an idiot

    http://www.politico.com/news/s...

    28, Liberal Democrat, CA-26


    He's absolutely right...
    It's sucks that we have to cut off the guys who really took one for the team to support folks that are barely worthy of being called Democrat.  

    We have no choice, but I think such abandonment will haunt progressives in the future.  If you abandon those who take the tough votes for you, how will you get anyone to take tough votes ever again?


    [ Parent ]
    That
    and why should we be swelling the ranks of the Blue Dogs over those who will actually vote for the Democratic bills?  Roy Herron in Tennessee said he wouldnt vote for Pelosi, why should we be dumping money on him when control of Congress is at stake?  DCCC made the right decision to pull out of that race.

    It's unfortunate though that Driehaus is getting left hanging.  Even if he loses, the district is winnable for us in 2012, but if he gets tossed by 10% he probably won't even try again.


    [ Parent ]
    What exactly do you expect the man to say? (eom)


    [ Parent ]
    I think he can understand the decission of the DCCC.

    Like I can.

    They are people what vote the same things than Driehaus in worse district but are up.

    I understand this is very sad for Driehaus.


    [ Parent ]
    I agree with the DCCC's decision
    I would disagree if they cut off Driehaus, but continued to fund less progressive Democratic candidates in similar electoral straits.  If you're going to play Moneyball, you can't discriminate on seniority or even incumbency.

    But as the candidate, Driehaus has a campaign to continue, and the media is going to ask him questions about the funding cutoff.  He couldn't respond "I understand" because that would be an admission he can't win.  Instead, he made lemonade out of the lemon the DCCC gave him - by fashioning his criticism of them into an appeal for personal donations!


    [ Parent ]
    I don't know if that was directed at me...
    but if Steve Driehaus couldn't have narrowed his deficit in the last five months from 15-10-5 on his own, why should he be bailed out?

    When there are a lot of other closer races...

    Wow, first I've heard about this group
    But NY Times blog from a couple weeks ago explains this group, which is one of those shadowy unknown donor money funnel groups, only in this case they are seeking to provide a firewall to protect the Democratic majority.

    http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes...

    They have a strategy document which was "leaked" to the NY Times.

    It's worth a read, if you're curious.

    Citizens United can cut both ways, and this shadow group is on our side.  If this is the playing field for the time being, we should be thankful someone is fielding a team for us.


    [ Parent ]
    I think both sides
    are choosing names for these group that mimic themes from the other - e.g. I think there's also a Dem-friendly group with "Patriots" in its name. Probably the advantage, from the Dems' perspective, is that swing voters might take the ad more seriously if it seems to be coming from a group not ordinarily associated with the party.

    I can't wait for the next Ras
    Here and WA. So far it has gone exactly as I predicted in NV and WV.

    Oh, same here
    Scott'll probably have Blumenthal up 54-45. Why? 'Cuz it shows a) he's still "clinging" to a SINGLE-DIGIT lead and b) he STILL can't break 55%. Or...wait. He could, just as easily, show Blumenthal up by 15% (!). Why? It's his way of saying, "yo, my conservative homies! what up dawgs? yo! stay outta dis one! it ain't good news! pour some dough on carly 'n john, my homies in da house! peace to my tea party bitches!"

    I know how this man operates.

    Patrick up by 7 in Suffolk poll
    Angle leads by 2 in Mason-Dixon poll
    For the paper that endorsed her
    They find her much more popular than PPP and Suffolk did. Don't know about Rasmussen.

    More accurately less unfavorably
    Just 43 while the other two peg it at 53 and 52.

    There was no full ballot test...
    And Angle's suddenly "improving favorables" fly in the face of everyone else showing her favorables dropping or stagnating... Even Razzy!

    This "poll" is BS.

    Yes, Virginia, there ARE progressives in Nevada!
    24, gay male, Democrat, NV-03 (or 04?)

    This debate will be interesting...
    I suspect that Angle will be well rehearsed and possibly even medically sedated to try and seem not crazy.  She will also try to get Reid to gaffe, which isn't hard to do.  Reid's job is to not allow Angle to appear "normal" while still appearing respectful to his opponent.  It's not going to be an easy task.

    I bet a lot of people will be watching this one, hoping for a trainwreck, only that the train more likely to crash will be Reid's.  Gotta hope that Angle has another of her "free speech" moments where she actually says what she believes.


    [ Parent ]
    Team Reid has already hinted where it's going...
    On this. He wants to press Angle on her flip-flops. If he's been coached well, he can probably avoid the gaffes tonight and focus on hitting her with the verbal gymnastics.

    Yes, Virginia, there ARE progressives in Nevada!
