Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin, of Long Island, has for the first time taken a very slight lead against Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul, a new poll published Friday has revealed.
The independent co/efficient survey of 1,056 likely voters shows Zeldin with 45.6% support and Hochul at 45.3% with the rest undecided.
Just 17 Days Are Left Until Victory. FULL SPEED AHEAD! We have to work harder than ever. We got into this race over 18 months ago and this final stretch will be far more important than everything in the past combined. pic.twitter.com/Mk8SX5m8Qo

“The shift has been led by predominantly white and Hispanic registered Democrats defecting to support Zeldin, the Republican candidate” said a co/efficient pollster Ryan Munce.
Zeldin has run a campaign with a sharp focus on the dramatic rise in crimes around NYC and that seems to be paying off, as many New Yorkers are sick and tired of seeing their city in the current state.

I’m a lifelong Democrat, but am voting for @leezeldin to be the next Governor of New York. I believe his vow not to mess with abortion rights if elected & it’s obvious that Zeldin will be better for NY than Kathy Hochul. A vote for Hochul is a vote for Cuomo. We need real change!
