With less than 5 weeks before the special election to replace disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-New York), a new poll shows Democrat David Weprin with only a 6 point lead over Republican Bob Turner in a congressional district that has been represented by a Democrat since 1924. One of the reasons for the closer than expected contest: many in the district's large Jewish community believe Mr. Turner would serve them better with regard to American policies on Israel.

Let's give it our best shot. HUGE implications if we can win in that UBER blue NY district. The fact that we're ONLY 6% behind is also telling.

Weprin leads Turner, 50 percent to 40 percent, among voters in Queens, a borough where he and his political family his are well known. But in Brooklyn, where a third of the district’s voters live, the Republican holds a 49 percent to 43 percent edge over Weprin.

Turner garnered more support from his Republican base (80 percent) than Weprin received from Democrats (61 percent). But the district has more registered Democrats than Republicans, so the races hinges on who turns out to vote. Turner leads among independents, 46 percent to 42 percent. Both have identical favorability ratings, 31 percent. But most voters say they don’t know enough about either of the candidates to decide whether they like them.

Notably, the Republican has won the backing of Democrat and popular former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, who cited Turner’s support of Israel in his endorsement. Sixty-nine percent of voters have a favorable opinion of Koch, and 38 percent say they would support a candidate Koch backed. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art..._election.html
