As things heat up in the gubernatorial race, Kathy Hochul and Republican nominee Lee Zeldin will face off on the debate stage for the first time and only time before the election.
On Sunday, Democrats rallied in Manhattan, trying to give a boost to Hochul, who has seen her lead in the polls shrink to as little as just four percent.
Democrats have campaigned on threats to democracy and abortion rights. However, pollsters are finding that the economy and a rising tide of violent crimes are no less important to voters. A Quinnipiac University poll of likely voters released last week showed Hochul leading Zeldin by just four points. On the same day, a similar Siena College poll gave Hochul an 11-point lead. A third poll by SurveyUSA gave the governor a six-point lead."What's happening is that law is being used, where these teenagers are being used to commit crime after crime after crime," said Zeldin.
