Time is running out for statewide Republican candidates in New York to catch up with their Democratic opponents. With less than a week before election day a new poll is released for the U.S. Senate races and the race for Governor.

The latest Qunnipiac University poll shows Democratic candidate Andrew Cuomo is continuing to stretch his lead over Republican Carl Paladino. The poll released Wednesday was taken between October 18th and the 24th.

It shows Cuomo's lead at 55% to 35% with 7% remaining undecided. On October 7th, Cuomo's lead was 18 percentage points ahead of Paladino. The margin of error is about plus or minus four points.

The closer of the two U.S. Senate races is between Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand and Republican Joe Dioguardi. The poll shows Gillibrand leading that race 57 to 34%. Long time Democratic Senator Charles Schumer has twice the support of Republican challenger Jay Townsend, 64% 32%. The closest U.S. Senate race affecting the Twin Tiers is in Pennsylvania. In that race Republican Pat Toomey's lead over Democrat Joe Sestak has narrowed a bit from September. In Wednesday's poll, Toomey has 43% of the support with Sestak having 36%. Toomey and Sestak are vying for the seat held by five-term Senator Arlen Specter, whom Sestak beat in the May primary.

1. Ha! Cuomo's in the lead now, but just wait til Carl

turns on the charm here in the closing days.

As for Senator Gillibrand's race, she has shown a lot of folks that she can do big-time politics. It looks like a hell of a successful campaign for her.

3. Yeah, maybe

he'll waggle his weiner and hock a loogie at the camera. That oughta do it.

4. All I asked was a primary for her and they gave me one.

We had a chance to reject her and we didn't. She's my candidate now.

[saltpoint]

5. Yes. I supported others as a choice before her, but she

did show me a thing or two about politics in consolidating support.

:hi:

2. The steaming heap still has 35? I bet he doesn't.

Good news.
