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. Incumbent Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican Rep.

Recent polling from Marist University showed that while Hochul has a lead over Zeldin, independent voters support Zeldin 49% to 35%, with rising crime resonating with more and more voters, especially in New York City.

Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, said in a statement.
