ALBANY - A stunning new poll this morning shows Democratic Attorney General Andrew Cuomo holding a mere six point lead over bomb throwing Buffalo businessman Carl Paladino in what until now has been Cuomo's runaway race for governor.

The startling Quinnipiac University survey of likely voters showed Cuomo ahead of Republican Paladino by 49-43 percent, a far cry from the 60-23 percent lead he held in a Quinnipiac poll of registered - but not necessarily likely - voters released Sept. 1.

Since the poll's margin of error is plus- or minus-3.6 percent, the findings - if accurate -- mean the race between the popular and well-known attorney general and the little-known but highly controversial, Tea Party-linked, Paladino could be a dead heat.

The new poll did not ask voters if they backed Conservative Party candidate Rick Lazio, even though he's expected to be on the November 2 ballot draining votes from Paladino, who defeated him in last week's GOP primary.

The new poll found Paladino leading Cuomo among Tea Party backers by a whopping 4-1 margin.

While just 18 percent of likely voters consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement, they supported Paladino 77 - 18 percent.

Cuomo led among Democrats, 87-8 percent, while Paladino was ahead among Republicans, 83-13 percent.

The crucial difference appeared to be among self-styled independent voters, who picked Paladino over Cuomo, 49-43 percent...........>>>>..............>>>>...............http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/poll_paladino_within_six_points_QAWA8lvV88JUkUytHrOi3K

Thats a head to head matchup.. remember, Rick Lazio is on the conservative line and will draw at least 5 percent from Paladino unless he (lazio) bows out.

I still say  Cuomo in a walk of a at least 7 points

Paladino still has to clear up the issue that he is on 2 party lines with 2 different Lt. Governor
candidates --- because we cast 1 vote for BOTH the Governor and Lt. Governor ..  the two tickets
have to match otherwise whatever votes Paladino gets on each of the 2 lines can NOT be added
together for a winning total.

Cuomo responds to new poll numbers
Last Update: 9/22 10:43 pm

The gap is closing.

A newly released Quinnipiac University Poll shows Republican Candidate for Governor Carl Paladino only 6 points behind Democrat Andrew Cuomo, a fact that doesn't shake the current Attorney General.

Andrew Cuomo said, "It was a poll that came out today, and then there will be a poll tomorrow, and then the next day, and the next day. I take them all with a grain of salt."..............>>>>...................>>>>................http://www.fox23news.com/news/.....dCCHOPew.cspx?rss=39

Dream on. Cuomo is leading 2:1.

Not EVERYBODY is stupid enough to believe Faux News, Bush Bimbaugh, and "Rodeo Clown" (his words, not mine) Glen Beck.

Andrew Cuomo leads Carl Paladino 57% to 24% in new Siena poll

One poll was likely voters and the Siena poll was registered voters.

polls are only for gamblers and those who refuse to vote their conscience and want to be on the 'winning team'...that would be the definition of sheeple...

as for the rest of us we shall vote as Americans......

The Quinnipiac Poll seems more realistic -- because it polled "likely voters".
