NY GOP gov. candidate Lee Zeldin takes lead over Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul

The conservative candidate is leading the polls in the key New York gov race, just one-week before election day

For weeks New York’s closely watched gubernatorial race has shown Democratic incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul and her rival Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin in a neck-and-neck race.

But a new poll released shows Zeldin has taken the lead—just one week out from the election.

According to the Trafalgar Group poll released late Monday, Zeldin, who has taken a tough-on-crime stance is now leading the progressive incumbent governor 48.4% to 47.6%.

Only 4% of the likely voters polled said they remain undecided on who they wanted to elect as the Empire State’s next governor on Nov. 8.

Many issues are important to voters but in New York, crime has taken center stage in the race as violence continues to rock Big Apple both underground in the subway and along many streets—even in broad daylight.

According to statistics—specific crimes like robbery and assaults have spiked, revealing a sizable jump in transit crime.

Zeldin sparred with Hochul over the key issue in a heated debate.

When asked about addressing public safety Hochul said, “It’s about getting the guns off the streets. That’s the first start. We have more to do—but I’m the one to do it.”

Zeldin shot back saying, “Unfortunately Kathy Hochul believes that the only crimes that are being committed all these crimes with guns and yet you have people who are afraid of being pushed in front of oncoming subway cars, they’re being stabbed; beaten to death on the street with hammers.”

He continued, “go talk to the Asian American community and how it impacts them with the loss of lives; Jewish people targeted with raw, violent, antisemitism on our streets—it just happened yet again. We need to be talking about all these other crimes.”

This is a closely watched race. Candidates are embarking on the final push to get-out-the-vote ahead of election day, which is just one week from today.

Mark Carney’s Liberals projected to win Canadian election, promising economic reform and a robust stance against Trump.

In Short

Canadians are likely to re-elect Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberal Party, aiming to tackle economic challenges and U.S. relations.

Carney’s leadership has gained voter support, positioning him against Conservative rhetoric and focusing on strengthening Canada’s economy and trade ties.

Canadians are projected to retain the Liberal Party under Prime Minister Mark Carney in the recent national elections.

Carney, a former central banker, is expected to address economic challenges and respond to U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims about Canada’s economy.

The Liberals aim for a fourth term, although it is uncertain if they will secure a majority. Carney took over as Prime Minister following Justin Trudeau’s resignation earlier this year.

The Conservatives were leading by over 20 points in January but the political landscape shifted after Trump’s return. Carney positioned himself as the candidate capable of managing relationships with the U.S. and rebuilding Canada’s economy, which heavily depends on American demand.

Leadership skills

Polling data indicated a turning tide for the Liberals, as voters appreciated Carney’s leadership skills. After a conversation with Trump, Carney mentioned plans to discuss a new economic and security agreement post-election.

He plans to increase military investment while maintaining Canadian sovereignty on key issues like resources and language laws.

Carney has emphasised the need to enhance trade ties with Europe and Asia, aiming to reduce barriers within Canada. With his background in finance during critical periods, he aims to bring confidence back to the economy through tax reforms and targeted spending.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative rhetoric reportedly alienated some voters, amplifying support for Carney as the viable choice against Trump’s influence.
