The New York gubernatorial race between incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul and GOP challenger Lee Zeldin is now a "toss-up," according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
The polling outlet’s rolling average of polls from Sept. 30 to Oct. 12 shows that Hochul is leading the Republican congressman by 5.3% with 7% of voters undecided on who they will vote for. "We have just 24 days to go until we FIRE @KathyHochul & save our state.
It’s not too late for Hochul to come out of hiding & do multiple debates with me across New York, starting immediately!" Zeldin said in a Twitter post, along with a graphic showing the race moving from "lean Democrat" to "toss up." The shift in polls amounts to a significant comeback for Zeldin, who was down in the polls as much as 24 points in August.
