The gubernatorial race in New York is heating up as the Republican nominee for governor, Rep. Lee Zeldin, is only six points away from Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul in the most recent poll from co/efficient.

The poll, taken two months before the election, showed Hochul ahead by only six points.

Forty-nine percent of the respondents said they would vote to elect the incumbent governor, and 43 percent said they would vote for Zeldin, who currently represents Eastern Long Island in the House. Eight percent said they were undecided.

A similar number of respondents viewed each candidate favorably, but Hochul had a higher unfavorability rating than Zeldin. Thirty-eight percent viewed Hochul favorably, while 45 percent viewed her negatively. At the same time, 36 percent said they viewed Zeldin favorably, while only 27 percent viewed him negative

Six points means at least 3. WOW

In a rational world, a can of Spam should be able to beat Hochul.

6 points is a very large margin.

It’s too bad that similar results don’t exist in Massachusetts, California, Maryland, and Michigan. It’s terrible how Blue the Bluest areas of the U.S. really are today and how the majority of voters in the Bluest of Blue areas of the U.S. are making themselves, even, worse off by how they keep on voting for Leftists/RINOS during each and every election cycle.

her unfavorability numbers will do her in... watch out for claims of election fraud as lee zeldin wins.

[V_TWIN]

Why in the world would anyone vote for a person so drunk on power that is directly affecting their freedoms?

I just don’t get it

[Captainpaintball]

What is lee doing to make sure the election is...

Oh, to hell with it. I know he is doing NOTHING. Typical republicant loser.

Moreover, 50 percent of those surveyed were Democrats, while Republicans comprised 34 percent of the respondents. Independents made up 16 percent.

If the poll internals above are correct 6 points is not huge, in fact it is nonexistent. Jokechul is in deep doo-doo and we have almost 2 months before Election Day.

2 months from today, we will FIRE Kathy Hochul, END one party-rule, and SAVE our state! pic.twitter.com/STEmf28hqE— Lee Zeldin (@leezeldin) September 8, 2022

The rats control NY like CA. 0 chance they let a Republican win.

Absolutely amazing in a 7-2 Dem-GOP state. That tells me Hochul really is doing a horrible job, so bad that even Democrats will admit it. Her only ad currently running statewide says Zeldin is "dangerous", I mean a 2nd grader could be more creative.

New York registration numbers 2020:

Party Affiliation Number of Voters Percentage of Voters
Democrat 6,563,866 50.6%
Republican 2,843,692 21.92%
Undeclared 2,822,102 21.76%
Other 741,883 5.7%

They will pull the same shenanigans that they pulled in NJ last year when Fuhrer Murphy found just enough votes to win at the 14th hour.

[KCDOUG]

Not holding my breath on this happening voting Hochul out

[wny]

he will lose by 10

[teeman8r]

that’s NY.

Some people *want* to be told what to do. They’re terrified to make their own decisions. For these people, “slavery is freedom”, per Orwell; the freedom from responsibility for one’s own actions.

I was watching one of the 9/11 documentaries on History channel last night around 9pm or so. A girl in an apartment that was filming said "I just wish they'd tell us what to do!". I'm thinking to myself, why not just hang tight like everyone else, do you need instructions for that?

[RoseofTexas]

Fool’s gold?

[hflynn]

So?

I guess you never heard of George Pataki.

The registrations percentages weren't much different but Pataki had to beat Mario "The Pius" Cuomo and did. Jokechul might be an Andrew but she ain't no Mario.

Zeldin can keep wishing. The NYS urban voter fraud centers won’t allow a statewide Republican to win.
