Two new polls have found that with just a week to go before Election Day, Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin is either barely leading or a smidge behind incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul in the race for New York governor.
Barely anyone expected Zeldin to put up a significant fight against Hochul in liberal New York, but the Republican’s anti-crime message has resonated with New Yorkers tired of rising crime rates in their neighborhoods.
A poll from Trafalgar, a pollster who has been one of the most accurate in recent elections, found Zeldin supported by 48.4% of New Yorkers compared to 47.6% backing Hochul.
Another poll from a Republican-leading polling firm led by Kellyanne Conway found Hochul leading by one percentage point, 46% to 45%.
With polls so close, the Republican Governors Association has pumped another $1.5 million into New York to assist Zeldin, while the Democratic Governors Association has opened up a Super PAC to help Hochul avoid a stunning defeat.

If this wicked woman wins by the slimmest of margins the Satmar faction of Reb Aaron is to blame.
typical of them to endorse democrats…
nearly everyone in williamsburg has already decided that they are voting Zeldin, as are the rest of the פרומע קהילה of NY
Vote for best person if you think zeldin is a Jew think again his famil is Mormon. No Shabbos. America didn’t save Jews. Gave Xmas gifts to Germans. America does have Torah Israel does. An elephant can win
New York enjoys a very low crime rate. I suspect that many Zeldin voters buy into Trump’s Big Lies.
huju,
What would you say if someone you knew died after being thrown onto the subway tracks? Would you also wonder why anyone would be so obsessed with locking up the criminal?
huju has replaced Baghdad Bob.
Huju is an outright liar. NY’s crime rate is high, and getting higher.
