New Siena Poll: Ed Mangano The Invisible Man

A new Siena Poll spells bad news for Ed Mangano.
Even with signs just about everywhere, Mangano can't catch a break.
In Nassau County, he has:
14% Favorable
11% Unfavorable
and an incredible 74% Don't Know/No Opinion.

It's Mid-October and Mangano has no traction whatsoever.

The big kick in the tuchus is the 76% Don't Know/No Opinion from REPUBLICANS.

By contrast, Suozzi has a 56% Favorable, 34% Unfavorable and only 10% Don't Know/No Opinion.

The question in the poll about who you would vote for if the election were today:
Suozzi - 54%
Mangano - 32%
Don't Know/No Opinion 14%
The only grouping that Mangano does well in is Republicans who give him 50%.
Democrats give Suozzi 79% and Republicans give Suozzi 36%

Mangano gets 11% of Democrats.

The only reason Ed Mangano is spending all this money on an election that was over the first day he announced his candidacy is because this is just a big ego boost. Now he can tell all his constituents that he railed against Suozzi and the big, bad Democratic machine because he's a man of principle, when he's really just a self-absorbed idiot who's too stupid to realize that he's just the Republican party's sacrificial lamb.

Haha, this post is comical in hindsight now isn't it? I'm a lifelong democrat (Ed Mangano and Joy Watson are the first 2 republicans I ever voted for), but I know Ed Mangano personally. Ed is not at ALL the kind of person who would run for executive as "just a big ego boost." Ed honestly thinks he can change the county, and hopefully he gets the chance. It should be interesting to see how this shakes out when every vote is tallied.

How does it feel to eat crow? Talk about an Ego saving 2.1 million dollars in your election account to use in a race for Governor instead of using it to hold on to the job you have. Just think if he spent $100,000 of it on a get out the vote effort he may have pick up the votes he needed to keep his job and political career. We do not need that type of judgment sitting in the County Executive's seat. Glad Mangano won. Shows he can do a lot with a little.
