All eyes across America are on N.Y. House race: Poll Favors Democrat in Special Election
From The Wall Street Journal:
A Democratic congressional candidate has built a slight lead in a traditionally Republican district, according to a new poll on a special election Tuesday eyed by some in both parties as a referendum on the House GOP plan to overhaul Medicare.
The Republican in the race, Jane Corwin, has endorsed the overhaul and spent part of the weekend seeking to assure seniors their benefits would not change. Democrat Kathy Hochul opposes the GOP Medicare plan.
Republicans have long represented the district in western New York, which stretches from the Buffalo suburbs toward Rochester. But a poll released Saturday showed the race close, with Ms. Hochul holding a slight lead. Three weeks ago, Ms. Corwin had the edge in the same survey.
