New York: Republican Running Strong In Democrat County

The survey released late Monday says that endorsed Democrat James Keane has 35 percent of the vote, followed by Republican Challenger Chris Collins with 34 percent.

Collins, a CEO and investor in several local companies, could be riding a wave of economic worries, in a county where Democrats outnumber Republicans by 120,000 votes. The Zogby Poll says 53 percent of voters list jobs and economic development as their number one issue in the race, followed closely by taxes. At the same time, a large majority --65 percent -- say business experience is more suitable for reforming and rejuvenating Erie County government.
