Re: NY 22
nd
CD primary

Voter / Consumer Research recently conducted two surveys of likely Republican primary voters
in New Yorks 22
nd
Congressional District. The first survey was conducted May 1-5 with a
sample size of 400 and a margin of error of +/-4.91%. The second survey was conducted May
28-29 with a sample size of 300 and a margin of error of +/-5.67%.

The results indicate that Congressman Richard Hanna (R-Barneveld) was leading the Republican
primary by a healthy margin and had expanded his lead from earlier in May. Specifically, 61%
of GOP primary voters most recently expressed that they plan to vote for Congressman Hanna,
while 20% say they plan to vote for Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney (R-New Hartford).

Q: In the Republican primary for Congress, as of right now who would you vote for
between (ROTATE) Richard Hanna and Claudia Tenney?

May 5 May 29 Change
Hanna 52% 61% +9%
Tenney 31% 20% -11%

The changes in the head-to-head question are also reflected in changes in name ID numbers.
Congressman Hannas favorability increased from 64% to 68% while his unfavorability dropped
from 23% to 14%. At the same time, Assemblywoman Tenneys favorability declined from 41%
to 26% while the number of voters with an unfavorable impression rose from 13% to 24%.

Q: Here are the names of some people in the news. Please tell me for each of these
whether you have a favorable or unfavorable impression. If you are not aware of the
name just let me know.

candidate either 68% of voters either expressed an opinion of her or said they were aware of
her but had no opinion.
