Your reaction to the latest polling news out of New York may depend on which pill you chose when Morpheus offered them to you. For months now, we have watched as Republican congressman Lee Zeldin has closed the gap in his longshot bid to replace unelected New York Governor Kathy Hochul. But while the race has long been far closer than it ever should have been in a state with a two-to-one registration advantage for the Democrats, he still never managed to turn up a set of numbers that showed him leading the race. Many local media prognosticators recently concluded that he would likely come up short by five points or more, putting a scare into Kathy Hochul, but not sending her packing. But now, the previously unthinkable has happened. A new poll from co/efficient this week shows Zeldin barely inching ahead of Hochul by a 45.6 to 45.3 margin with barely three weeks to go. (NY Post)
