First poll shows Murphy with lead

Did Jim Tedisco’s AIG attacks against Scott Murphy fail to connect?

According to Congressional Quarterly’s blog, internal polls conducted by the GOP continue to show a tightening race — with one survey showing Democrat Murphy taking a first, narrow lead over Republican Tedisco.

In addition to the RNC poll we mentioned earlier that shows Jim Tedisco (R) leading Scott Murphy (D) by three points in the NY-20 special election next week, Political Wire now has confirmation that a NRCC poll actually shows Murphy leading by two points.

Tedisco’s own internal polling shows him leading by just one point.

National coverage of this race has exploded, with treatments in the last 24 hours in the Wall Street Journal, NPR, Washington Post, Politico, Bloomberg, the New York Times.

According to the Glens Falls Post-Star, former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee plans to air a segment of his Fox news show from Chestertown this weekend…

Tedisco’s in Glens Falls today for a campaign stop at the Rotary luncheon; both men meet in Latham tonight for their final debate.
