NY-20: Gibson Crosses 50% Mark In Poll

The Winston Wolf Rule is in effect but oh yeah, this is the good stuff.

With one week until election day, Chris Gibson has surged to a nine-point lead over Rep. Scott Murphy, D-Glens Falls, in their race to represent the 10-county 20th Congressional District. Gibson currently leads 51 percent to 42 percent, the survey finds.

A poll released by Siena College showed Gibson, the Republican candidate and a retired Army colonel from Kinderhook, advancing from being unknown and trailing Murphy in previous polls to sliding ahead. This rise has been especially pronounced among Republicans and independents since Siena's previous survey of likely voters in the district, in September.

We're going to see a lot of good polls in the next few days but that doesn't mean we let up. It means we push down harder. Nails+Coffins-Some Assembly Required.

We're doing a Be The Wave event in the district from Noon to around 4 (I guess, not really sure) and then drinks or something afterward. If you are going to be in the Clifton Park area on Saturday, sign up! We have 10 people so far, which is way more than I expected to get for such a blue district.

Here's the list of candidates.

Be the Wave!
