It Can Happen: Congressman Doug Hoffman

Monday, October 26, 2009

The Club for Growth endorsed Conservative-party nominee Doug Hoffman. They're also doing polling in the district, and today they find . . .

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%. No information was provided about any of the candidates prior to the ballot question.

Now, that's a tiny sample size, and a big margin of error. But the DCCC wouldn't be running attack ads against Hoffman if they didn't think the Conservative had a shot of beating their guy Owens.
