MidHudsonNews [dot] com is reporting a telephone poll being conducted by the Dutchess County Democratic Committee has outraged the Dutchess GOP chairman, Michael McCormack.

Molinaro dismissed the survey saying "my experience is that voters do a really good job in sorting out the truth from lies like these." Dutchess County Democratic Chairwoman Elisa Sumner did not respond to requests for comment. Read the full story at MidHudsonNews [dot] com.
