The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee poll, conducted by Global Strategy Group this week, shows former Assemblyman David Weprin (D) leading businessman Bob Turner (R), 47 to 39 percent.
The Democratic numbers come on the heels of a poll released Thursday by Turner’s campaign that showed the two candidates in a tie at 42 percent.

But the overwhelming Democratic nature of the district — Democrats hold a 130,000-voter advantage in the seat — is winning the day, as a generic Democrat leads a generic Republican 46 percent to 32 percent in the district.
