National pollster John Zogby joined WIBX First News with Keeler in the Morning on Tuesday, one day after Richard Hanna's official announcement that he will not seek another term in 2016.

Zogby shares his initial thoughts on many of the possible candidates we're hearing about, including Joe Griffo, Anthony Picente, Anthony Brindisi, Ray Meier, and the only announced candidate thus far, Claudia Tenney.

And, while he thinks Claudia Tenney could win, put her chances just under 50/50, he labeled current Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi as 'the name to watch' among possible candidates, saying the Utica attorney is often the 'smartest guy in the room'.
