Hillary Rodham Clinton's old Senate seat in danger of falling to Republicans. Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand only has a one point lead over Republican Joe DioGuardi.
Survey USA reported:
New York voters will, unusually, elect 2 United States Senators in 2010. In the Special Election to fill the final 2 years of Hillary Rodham Clinton's term, incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand and former Congressman Republican Joe DioGuardi today finish effectively even, Gillibrand's nominal 1-point lead being within the survey's theoretical margin of sampling error. Gillibrand leads in the 5 boroughs of NYC, trails elsewhere. Men vote Republican, women vote Democrat and, in this contest, cancel each other out. Lower-income voters break significantly Democrat. Middle-income and upper-income voters break slightly Republican.
DioGuardi is NOT the conservative, frugal, clean-as-a-whistle Tea Party candidate that he pretends to be. He has some VERY unsavory connections:
