Poll: Hochul takes early lead against challenger Lee Zeldin

The first poll of the New York governor's race has Gov. Kathy Hochul taking an early lead over Rep. Lee Zeldin. CBS2's political reporter Marcia Kramer spoke to a political analyst, who says Hochul's edge is not insurmountable for her challenger.

Lee has my vote 100%. In my opinion Kathy Hochul has done nothing about crime. When you have no cash bail
And DA's that refuse to do there job which she backs

[apap]

I'm going to vote for the Z man.. I don't care about abortion ;I care about crime, I'm an independent voter.

[leonkennedy]

I haven't seen any Hochul signs or stickers. I have seen LOTS of Zeldin signs though. Please NY vote Hochul out.

[slapshot]

The Dinkins era will certainly return if she wins again, we cannot afford another 4 yrs of her!

[christianjmj]

Don’t trust polls. November 8th, go out and vote. Save NY. Zeldin for Governor.

[billysmith]

we need a Republican governor instead of this rerun hocum

[joshwest]

Hochul need to go! Show up at the polls on Aug. 23.

[chriszenko]

She is not going to go against her party and Lower crime that’s a given

[dominicperez]

I have no faith in politics anymore. I am so freaking done.

[marinaduran]

Please get that crazy woman out of there. This is a lie I didn’t get to put in my vote

[Shakur_]

They said the same with the VI governor race

[markmilitant]

It will be close But Nyc is sadly always progressive

[greatwolf]

No matter how bad things get, Baltimore will never vote Republican. Same thing with New York. Elections are about demographics not politics.

[joshk]

Kathy Hochul 3, 700, 556 Votes 50.1% Lee Zeldin 3, 698, 600 Votes 49.9% A close race and it well be this year in New York

[thomasmaroti]

They must have polled only those with their hands out.

[joshk]

Kathy Hochul 3, 650, 700 Votes 49% Lee Zeldin 3, 650, 699 Votes 49% to early to call!

[treverwhoever]

The dislike ratio has determined that is a lie!

[joshk]

poll Kathy Hochul vs Lee Zeldin Lee Zeldin 48% Kathy Hochul 48%

[williampennjr.]

Its funny how I just got my voter ID in the mail.
funny because NY is supposed to be opposed to voter ID, and yet It was sent to me without even asking for it.

If this is true then the saying, there are none so blind as those who will not see, needs updating to include not thinking as well
