New York Gov. Hochul led her Republican challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin, by 10 percentage points in a Marist College poll of the race released Thursday, less than four weeks ahead of Election Day.
The margin, which was smaller than in some recent polling of the race, suggested that while Hochul remains on track to retain her post leading New York, the race is hardly over.
Zeldin, a Trump-tied Long Island lawmaker, has fought an uphill battle in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than two to one. He promptly rejected the results of the Marist poll.
