NY Republican Lee Zeldin Within 5 Points of Criminal Coddling
Kathy Hochul in Gubernatorial Race!
by James S. Soviero
A poll released Saturday found Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin is closing in on incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul in New York’s ever-tightening gubernatorial race.
The survey, conducted by the independent Trafalgar Group, found Hochul with just a 4 percent lead over the Long Island congressman — a significant narrowing in a race that has seen Hochul with a lead of up to 24 points.
The poll of 1,091 likely general election voters, conducted on Wednesday and Thursday, pegged Hochul at 47.8% — and Zeldin at 43.4%, nipping at the Democrat’s heels.
Zeldin touted the results on Facebook and Twitter.
“People are fed up with Hochul’s feckless leadership,” he said. “This poll underscores our unprecedented momentum.”
On Thursday, the GOPer did a powerful radio interview with Mark Simone. Sitting in for Hannity, the guest host was kind enough to mention support could be shown for Lee by reaching out to Zeldin for New York.
“I know the… numbers are surprising,” Trafalgar Group pollster Robert Cahaly tweeted Saturday.
“But we at Trafalgar Group have seen a big shift in favor of nonincumbents since Biden announced his #studentloanforgiveness package,” Cahaly continued. “No other issue this cycle has enraged middle and working-class voters more than this.”
At this point, it’s important to note his polling outfit is in the mix for having the best record for tracking U.S. elections.

Saw this comment on another thread.. “Let’s get rid of botox Barbie. I don’t want to leave NY. ” Lee needs to pound the five boroughs with his message. Praying people will wake up and vote republican or stay home.
Notice Hochul’s strategy is to move further left, showing great confidence. Wouldn’t a move in the opposite direction make her win certain? Instead she continues the war against us, because NY will never elect a conservative.
Very recently NY’s Huckster Hochul colluded with the mayor and Biden’s new bff and go-fer ‘Uncle’ Eric Adams to weaponize the ghetto-slum low-income residential buildings–all of which are bound with shackles to the poverty-creating NYCHA entity—to poison their drinking-tap water with cancer-causing arsenic.
I can’t imagine Hochul, by all the evidence the worst governor in New York’s history, being elected on her own hook…but she has a 5% lead in the polls?! What New Yorker in his right mind would vote for that clown?
Perhaps there is hope for New York.
Other than a small handful of democrat politicians and their low information voters, I don’t know one person in Western New York who does not despise Kathy Hochul.
