In an exclusive interview with The TCOT Report, a confidential source confirmed that the Siena Poll to be released at 9:30 am EDT today will show support for the Republican RINO candidate, Dede Scozzafava, plummeting, and support for Conservative Doug Hoffman growing fast.

Democrat candidate Bill Owens is expected to remain steady.

In the October 1 poll, Dede Scozzafava had a seven point lead over Owens, 35-28, with Hoffman in third place at 16.

The race has drawn national attention, with the Democrats pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Owens Campaign. Scozzafava has the support of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, though not the RNC. Hoffman has the support of the Club for Growth and former Senator Fred Thompson.

The special election will be held on November 3, 2009.
