Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will not coast to reelection, with the latest poll putting her just four points ahead of her Republican challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin.

The poll from Republican consulting firm Big Dog Strategies showed that Hochul holds a slim four-point lead over the congressman – 35 percent support versus Zeldin’s 31 percent. The poll also showed that Zeldin leads disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo by six points in a hypothetical matchup.

According to the New York Post, Hochul will face a fierce battle for reelection.

“Zeldin led Hochul by more than 35 points in the Syracuse region and was slightly ahead in other parts of upstate,” it added.

.

“Hochul is underperforming in areas where she needs to do well. It shows that Long Island is moving back into Republican hands,” Big Dog founder Chris Grant said.

“I think she gets a bit of a glow from the Bills announcement. Also, don’t underestimate the ‘hometown girl does well factor,’” Grant added.

Zeldin moving within striking distance of Hochul comes several months after he raised $8.4 million in the race, the most taken in by any Republican in a NY statewide election in a non-election year in over two decades.
