Kathleen Rice Leads the Field Heading into Campaigns Final
Days
Rice holds significant vote and favorability advantages over her
four opponents
Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice is well positioned
in the primary for New York
Attorney General, according to a poll of 600 likely Democratic
primary election voters conducted
September 6 7, 2010 by Global Strategy Group (GSG). Key findings
include:
Kathleen Rice is currently ahead by six points over Eric
Schneiderman and by 15
points over Sean Coffey. Rice leads the field with 25% of the
vote ahead of
Schneiderman at 19%, Coffey at 10%, Richard Brodsky at 6% and
Eric Dinallo at 2%. Over
one in three voters (36%) are undecided in this race, a dramatic
shift from what had
previously been a much higher rate of undecideds.
Kathleen Rice holds favorability and name recognition advantages
over her
opponents. Rice has the highest favorability rating (40%
favorable/10% unfavorable) and
highest name recognition (50% know her well enough to give a
rating) of any candidate.
Thats ahead of Eric Schneiderman (29% favorable/7% unfavorable;
36% name recognition),
Sean Coffey (26%/8%; 34%), Richard Brodsky (20%/9%; 29%) and
Eric Dinallo (9%/5%;14%).
Kathleen Rice currently has broad regional and demographic
support across New
York State. Rice is taking in at least 20% of the vote in the
three key regions of the state
(New York City, the Suburbs and Upstate), including over half of
voters in her home base of
Long Island. Rice also maintains a large double-digit lead with
women and holds leads
among white voters, African-American voters and Hispanic
voters.
The bottom line is this: Kathleen Rice is in the strongest
position of any candidate heading
into the final week. While over a third of voters remain
undecided in this five-candidate race,
Rice is the clear front-runner with a six point lead based on
broad support across the state anddouble-digit favorability and
name recognition advantages. With Rices four opponents
actively communicating to voters across the state, resources
will be critical to
maintaining Rices lead in the final days.
