Siena poll shows Hall and Hayworth “neck-and-neck”
A Siena College poll released this morning shows Rep. John Hall, D-Dover Plains, and Dr. Nan Hayworth of Mount Kisco, his Republican opponent, “waging a neck-and-neck race, as 46 percent of likely voters are currently backing Hayworth and 43 percent favor Hall.” The Sienna Siena poll was conducted October 5-10 by telephone calls to 610 likely voters and has a margin of error of 4 percent.
“Hall and Hayworth are dividing the voters in the 19th Congressional District nearly evenly. Hall has the support of more than three-quarters of Democrats, while Hayworth has the support of more than three-quarters of Republicans and a seven-point lead among independent voters,” said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg. “Hayworth leads by 16 points with men and Hall has a 12-point lead with women. Hayworth’s 21-point lead in Orange County offsets Hall’s seven-point lead in Westchester and Rockland Counties and his small three-point lead in Dutchess and Putnam Counties. Hall has a slight edge among voters 55 and older, while Hayworth has a 10-point lead among voters less than 55 years of age.”

It’s the second poll released in less than a week that shows a tight race between Hall, who is seeking a third term, and newcomer Hayworth. Last week, a RNN-TV/Westchester County Association poll showed the two in a “dead heat” with each having 42 percent of voters surveyed in their favor.
The association tonight is hosting a debate between the two, their first public face-off. The event takes place at 6 p.m. at RNN, 800 Westchester Avenue (5th Floor Auditorium), Rye Brook, NY.

I suggest that Independents and those who are undecided take a good look at the extreme positions of Nan Hayworth and the groups she is aligning herself with before making a decision.
In Congressman Hall, we have someone who is in Washington fighting for middle class families. Ask the Veterans in our district what it has meant to have a real champion getting them the benefits they deserve and not just paying lip service to caring about them.
As far as the health care bill, those criticizing it should not listen to those (like Nan Hayworth) who have a vested interest in adding to the profits of the insurance companies and their top people, all who make millions of dollars a year denying care to you and your family. For me personally, it means that my 16-year-old daughter, who developed type 1 diabetes 6 years ago, cannot be discriminated against; that she can go to medical school and have coverage until she’s 26 and finished school.
Elections have consequences, broad ones. Many of the candidates running for national office this year might make our frustrated selves feel better for a minute, but when you sit and reflect on what they are actually offering, and whether they’re in the least capable of coming up with real solutions to society’s many problems, the answer is clear. What Washington needs is MORE Congressman Halls, NOT less.
