Press release from Club for Growth:
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%. . . .Read the rest -here-... Hoffman has shot from 3rd to 1st in less than a week, as the GOP's horrendous liberal candidate tanking hard.
Stacy reminds us that could be considered an "internal" poll, but it's the only poll released to date that fully refelects the "call the cops" meltdown by Scozzafava and the Palin endorsement. Obviously, these factors had a big impact... not to mention the right-side of the blogosphere!
And it's quickly looking like Newt and the Huckster flat-out blew it- along with the GOP grandees that saddled NY-23 with this unfortunate choice.
