15th SD – Queens County – Serph Maltese (R, incumbent) vs. Joseph Addabbo, Jr. (D) Addabbo currently has a slim 45-43 percent lead over Maltese. In the September Siena poll, the two were tied at 42 percent, in this district that has an overwhelmingly Democratic enrollment edge. Maltese has the support of more than three-quarters of Republicans and one-quarter of Democrats. Addabbo leads 61-27 percent among Democrats and picks up the support of 20 percent of Republicans. Maltese leads among independent voters 51-31 percent. Maltese leads by four points with men, while Addabbo has a seven-point lead with women. Addabbo leads in the southern part of the district and Maltese leads in the north.
Maltese is viewed favorably by 45 percent of voters and unfavorably by 33 percent of voters, down from a 48-16 percent favorable rating previously. Addabbo’s favorable rating is 42-30 percent, and was previously 38-20 percent.
Obama leads McCain in this district 57-32 percent, up from 49-31 percent.
“In this district that gives a 25-point lead to Obama over McCain and an identical 25-point lead to Democratic over Republican control of the Senate, the battle for State Senator remains neck and neck. Senator Maltese held on to win a tight race in this heavily Democratic district two years ago, and it looks like the outcome this year will again not be known until the last votes are counted Tuesday night,” Greenberg said.
