Press Release: Sixty-Four Percent of NY Dems Would Support Anti-War Candidate, Says Marist Poll

Jonathan Tasini for Senate!

New York, NY – Marist released a poll yesterday which found that only ten percent of Democrats in New York say they will vote for a pro-war candidate whereas 64 percent (up from 62 percent from the last Marist poll in July) say they would vote an anti-war candidate.

“Once again I stand where the majority of Democratic voters stand on the issue of the war in Iraq,” said Tasini. ”Why is Hillary Clinton unwilling to have an open debate on the war? This is the issue that is central on voters' minds and she is showing a lack of respect for the voters and for democracy by refusing to engage in a debate."
