Fred Thompson: Fox and Friends, Public Policy Poll Shows Huge Hoffman Lead

by the Left Coast Rebel

I just received an email from FedPac tipping me on Fred's showing on the Fox show:

Well said Fred, this little election is a referendum of American's fed-upness with all pols. Fred Thompson, for those who don't know; was the first high-profile guy to wholeheartedly support Hoffman.

The Public Policy Poll that was mentioned above as well shows Hoffman leading 51% to 34%. From PPP:

Doug Hoffman has a commanding lead in the special election for New York's 23rd Congressional District.

In a three way contest with Democrat Bill Owens and Republican Dede Scozzafava Hoffman leads with 51% to 34% for Owens and 13% for Scozzafava. In a head to head contest with Owens Hoffman holds a 54-38 advantage.

The bottom line though is that Hoffman led by double digits during every segment of the poll, an indication that he may have been headed for a definitive victory regardless of Scozzafava's actions over the course of the weekend.

Hoffman is leading Scozzafava 71-15 among Republicans with 12% going to Owens. Among Democrats Owens gets 67% to 21% for Hoffman and 10% for Scozzafava. Hoffman leads Owens 52-30 with independents.

One key finding that may have ultimately scuttled Scozzafava's candidacy: 59% of Republicans considered her to be a liberal and only 7% thought she was a conservative

Get out and vote tomorrow!
