A new poll released by The Trafalgar Group has revealed that Republican New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin has edged out incumbent Kathy Hochul with little more than a week to go until the election.

According to the New York Post, this poll comes as Hochul was blasted for suggesting that Americans’ concerns relating to rising crime were manufactured by "master manipulators" in a national "conspiracy," and called Zeldin and Republicans "data deniers"
The poll reflects a similar one conducted by co/efficient earlier this month, which found that Zeldin is polling at 45.6 percent support and Hochul at 45.3 percent. That poll had a margin of error of 3.31.
The co/efficient poll had released a poll in September showing Hochul with a 6-point lead.
Pollster Ryan Munce said at the time, "The shift has been led by predominantly white and Hispanic registered Democrats defecting to support Zeldin, the Republican candidate."
"With a little under three weeks to go, we still expect to see measurable movement in the statewide electorate and if the trend continues, New York could have its first Republican governor since 2006," Munce added.
