Eric Massa (D): 49
Randy Kuhl (R-inc): 42

Economic woes have hit New York’s 29th District especially hard in recent years, and those hard times seem to be enough to overcome the district’s decidedly Republican tilt (Bush won here by 56-42 in 2004). Just check out the Presidential numbers: Obama has a 48-45 lead over McCain in this Appalachian district. Don’t believe it? SurveyUSA had almost the exact same result on Monday night, with Obama edging McCain by 49-47 here.
Things are looking dicey for Shotgun Randy. Just check out his favorable rating: 33-44. Brutal. Massa, on the other hand, is sitting at 45-27.
