Down to the Wire

A recent poll from the GOP shows that the 1st Congressional district race is closer than other polls suggest. The survey suggests that Lee Zeldin and Tim Bishop are tied with 46% of the vote with 7% undecided. The article does note the other recent Siena poll which put Bishop ahead 51% to 41%. The GOP has stated that the Siena poll is different from what they have been finding so the race might be the closest one in New York.

In attack ads both candidates from the 21st district are wrong. Stefanik ads are more to the point though. With Woolf's attack ads addressing too many points, voters are left questioning what exactly are they supposed to get from the 30-second TV spot. Stefanik leading Woolf by 13% in the recent Siena poll suggests that the Democratic party is backing away from what was once a very close race.

The American Action Network released an ad on Tim Bishop called "Damn Good Idea?" It talks about Tim Bishop's support for President Obama's Affordable Health Care Act. "I think it's a damn bad idea" is what John from the ad thinks of "Obamacare."

Tim Bishop also recently released an ad stating that he saved "950 Long Island jobs."
