A
new poll shows a closer-than-expected special election contest for the
open seat in New York’s strongly Democratic 9th Congressional district.
Five weeks before voters in the Queens- and Brooklyn-based district go
to the polls, Democratic state Assemblyman David Weprin led Republican
businessman Robert Turner 48 percent to 42 percent in a Siena College
poll.
A twist in the short race came in late July when former New York Mayor
Ed Koch (D) endorsed Turner. Koch said that a vote for the Republican
would serve as a reprimand to President Barack Obama for his stance on
Israel. [Roll
