OH-16: Boccieri Posts a Big Lead

Research 2000 for Daily Kos (9/30-10/1, likely voters):

John Boccieri (D): 48

Kirk Schuring (R): 38

Other: 4

(MoE: ±5%)

Now that’s a result that I can believe in, my friends, and it strongly corroborates a recent SUSA poll showing Boccieri ahead by 49-41.

This Canton-based district has been drifting Democratic in recent cycles, going from an 11-point Bush margin in 2000 to a 54-46 Bush result four years later. This poll finds that the trend is continuing, showing Obama leading McCain by 49-46 (SUSA pegged McCain leading by two in mid-September).

While it’s too early to pop the champagne corks just yet, it’s hard not to feel good about this race.

  1. this week in AZ-03, NE-02, NY-29, PA-03, PA-11, TX-07, VA-02, WA-08, and WV-02.

    Should be VERY interesting to see them. I don’t think there has been any public non internal polls for those races except for WA-08 and PA-03.
