Siena/TWC poll: Gibson has wide lead over Eldridge

A Siena College-Time Warner Cable poll of the NY-19 Congressional race shows incumbent Republican Chris Gibson with an “early” 24-point lead over Democratic challenger Sean Eldridge.

Gibson leads 57%-33% district-wide, with 10% undecided. Of those already decided, only 10% indicated a likelihood they might change their mind.

The poll’s results for Columbia County are lumped in with those for Greene, Montgomery, Schoarie and Rensselaer counties. In those five counties, Gibson’s lead is even larger, 64%-23%.

Full “crosstabs” for the poll are online at this link.

Dismal turnout in Democratic primary

Less than 10% of Democrats, both statewide and in Columbia County, participated in today’s gubernatorial primary (in which Governor Andrew Cuomo defeated challenger Zephyr Teachout by a roughly 2-1 margin).

As such, tonight’s primary results tells us little about the views of Democratic voters. But it does demonstrate that Democratic officials and party operatives, whether progressive or centrist, are not able to motivate its rank-and-file members to vote.
