A coalition of conservative activist groups, determined to halt what they call a “leftward shift’’ among Republican state senators from Long Island, have begun secretly polling the districts of key GOP lawmakers with an eye toward knocking them off in next year’s primaries.
The coalition — led by the anti-abortion Chiaroscuro Foundation, which backed several conservative Republicans who won office in last year’s state Senate races — just finished a poll in the district of Senate Health Committee Chairman Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau), 69, the sponsor of several “end of life’’ measures that critics compare to euthanasia.
