Mr. Turner’s supporters, sipping beer and mixed drinks and munching on cherry tomatoes and mozzarella, cheered as Representative Peter King, Republican of New York, said the election was going well for Mr. Turner. Mr. King attributed Mr. Turner’s strength to disenchantment with Mr. Obama’s stance on Israel. “You don’t turn your back on an ally, as he has done,” Mr. King said. Former Mayor Edward I. Koch, who crossed party lines to endorse Mr. Turner, said that Mr. Obama “threw Israel under the bus.” And Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a leader of the Orthdox Jewish community, said voters in the Congressional race were “sick and tired of the policies of the Obama administration.” In Forest Hills, supporters of Mr. Weprin packed into the Cobblestone Pub, and were upbeat early in the night, even as campaign volunteers acknowledged mixed experiences. Nick Bais, 55, said that he was optimistic about the candidate’s chances — he heard several times while knocking on doors in Forest Hills that residents were planning to vote for Mr. Weprin or already had — but also acknowledged that he had seen many lawn signs supporting Bob Turner. “That’s unusual in Queens,” he said. “That’s something you see upstate or in Texas.” And Michael Goldman, 41, a lawyer who volunteered for Mr. Weprin’s campaign, said that while making phone calls to registered Democrats on behalf of the campaign last week, he often heard the same refrain: They were undecided. While canvassing on Tuesday, he said, “a lot of people were saying they weren’t going to vote because they were frustrated with the system.”
