Questionable online poll results still bode well for McGonegal

You may recall from our post of Oct. 22 of a political notebook item that appeared in the Daily Press & Argus that Mike was handily winning an online poll posted by Dan Wholihan, a member of the Livingston County Party’s executive committee and a paid consultant for Chris Ward, on his blog. The poll had been up for nearly three months, and Mike had been leading the entire time with 53 percent and 91 votes to 42 percent and 73 votes for Mr. Ward. In fact, all of the Democratic candidates from Governor to both House races were winning except one.

However, It didn’t take long for the numbers to change after that negative publicity, and within eight days, Ward was winning the poll. In just two short weeks, Mr. Ward’s vote total increased a whopping 124 percent to lead 54-42 percent. A miraculous turnaround or he did he get some help? However, considering where the poll is located I’m very happy with the results.

Let us hope and pray that the pole today and the vote today is for Mr. McGonegal. He sure is driven and very well spoken.

Have enjoyed looking at and reading the comments of the campaign and how fast you guys responded to events and daily happenings and I can't understand how you can be so on top of things.Also the comments are telling even the impolite ones.Don't be surprised if you win.

Mike,

Congratulations on a great race. I appreciate meeting you and I hope you will stop by whenever you can. You're class act.

CG,

You worked your ass off for a really good cause and we appreciate that, too. Have Mike bring you by sometime-I'd like to meet you.

It was an uphill battle all the way. People in this District, unlike most other parts of the country, decided to stay with the status quo instead of displaying some integrity.

Good luck and God's speed to both of you and your families.
