The latest poll from the DCCC, just released today, shows one of our own - Orange to Blue candidate Eric Massa - with a substantial lead over his Republican rival, incumbent Randy Kuhl.
Benenson Strategy Group for the DCCC. Dates unreleased. Likely voters. MoE 4.9%.
Massa (D) 47
Kuhl (R) 42
This is the first poll conducted released on this race (especially odd considering how close the race was in 2006, when Kuhl defeated Massa by four points, 52% to 48%).
Research 2000 will be polling this race for Daily Kos soon, and it will be interesting to see if the results match the DCCC poll.
These polling results are obviously terrific, particularly in an R+5 district (the most Republican district in the state). In the absence of public polling data, we had assumed that the race was leaning Kuhl's way. It may be time to rethink that assumption, particularly if our independent polling confirms this.
In the meantime, head over to the Orange to Blue page, and help Eric Massa finish strong.
