I am not sure if i have seen a Paladino - Cuomo matchup poll- but I have seen Lazio-Cuomo poll an Lazio loses by a huge margin.
Which makes me wonder why the NY Gop and Canservative party bother to back him
A Paladino PRIMARY win against lazio would generate news nation wide as ANOTHER TEA PARTY WIN!
The EXCITEMENT FROM THAT COULD TRANSLATE INTO A HUGE REPUBLICAN TURNOUT AND A CHANCE TO UN-SEAT *TWO* US SENATORS!! (INCLUDING CHUCKY SCHUMER!!!!!!!)
If Paladino has just made this leap in the GOP primary polling, and were to go on and win that primary, it would spark an enthusiasm not found on behalf of Lazio. Any earlier poll would be as worthless as the one with Paladino trailing Lazio by a significant margin.
NYers don’t really like Andrew Cuomo. They have been ‘settling’ for him. If someone new and exciting appeared, who is a straight shooter along the lines of NJ’s Christie, I’d say he has a very good chance in November. This is not the year to be a ‘known commodity’ as are both Lazio and Cuomo.
