The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle's new poll asked one question of interest to the race in the 29th: "Will your view of the war in Iraq or feelings for President Bush play a role in your choices in the 2006 election?" 58% said "major", 24% said "minor", and 18% said "no".

It is THAT prevalent in opinion? This is pretty remarkable. What methodology did they use?
From this article:The poll was conducted Sept. 15-20 by the Rochester Research Group, which did telephone interviews with a random sample of 519 likely voters in Monroe County taken from the rolls of registered voters. The poll findings have a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.
Since it is Monroe County, it might not reflect the entire 29th. I should have made that clearer in the original post.
