Please note that the official crosstabs on the 'Siena' poll have Warren listed as Libertarian. While Siena is also a province in Tuscany, it is not related to the famous Rhetorician.
Considering the Siena Research has a general policy of not including third party candidates until they can make it on the ballot, it is significant. A recent email from Richard Winger also confirms that notion. I am not familiar with any LPNY candidate for Governor ever achieving ANY poll above 2%, let alone this early. Three percent of the 4.6 million people who voted in 2006 for Governor is approximately 140K votes, 4 percent is about 180K. Presumably many within the membership are concerned about achieving 50K votes. These are real numbers being evidenced. Not a locked and secure case of course, but significant.
