Poll: Gillibrand and Maloney neck-and-neck



The sample size is relatively small (373 likely Democratic voters statewide) and Maloney’s five (sorry math error) six-point lead is within the poll’s +/- 5 percent margin of error.

Gillibrand has a 2-1 campaign cash advantage over Maloney. Gillibrand as $3.8 million in the bank; Maloney has $1.66 million.

    This poll will allow Maloney to catch up in the campaign contribution column. Maloney will win.

  2. zzzzyx says:

    Wait, isn’t the party line that the more the city voters get to know Senator Blunder the better they will like her? What a shock, city democrats don’t like corporation defense lawyers. The blood is in the water, once the bigwigs see that Blunder can’t beat a wingnut like Maloney, they will be forced to take a different direction.

  3. tj says:

    Senator G is the clear favorite…Maloney is full of baloney !!!

  4. Parliamentary Procedure says:

    Yup, if the last month has taught us anything, it’s that we need another NYC party hack in statewide office…

  5. Sammy says:

    Sen. Gillibrand is standing Up for Clean Energy, Standing Up to the Coal Lobbyists, & Capital Region residents will be thanking her next week – see http://activistresource.org/13041

  6. Steve says:

    Gillibrand is brillant and is someone who will get things done. Maloney is another NYC whiner who will be crushed by whatever Republican they put up against her. What has Maloney ever accomplished? Gillibrand got bills passed as a freshman congresswoman!

  7. AlbertJ says:

    It seems, on the surface, most voters agree that a candidate should not be beholden, or inappropriately influenced, by “special interests” or political “fat cats”, yet the media seems obsessed with comparing and tabulation campaign contributions as some measure of success and votability.

    It it a negative for a candidate to be chosen by a “good old boy” network and have their strings pulled and guided by someone else behind the curtain, or is just, which, “good old boy” network and who that string puller might be that matters?

  8. rolio says:

    Gillibrand has been beholden to the special interests only, and a minion of the likes of schumer. Maloney even being from downstate is better for all.

  9. Donkey Darling says:

    Gillibrand has spent her 6 months kowtowing to special interest groups and raising money, and has been virtually invisible in any grassroots way. This is NOT the formula she used to get to Congress.

    Maloney will beat her, and Maloney will beat any Republican.

  10. zzzzyx says:

    How much of the 3.8m is from tobacco? They don’t like backing the wrong horse. When the big guns drop her, the party will have to follow. Back to the law office for you Senator Blunder.
