The Trafalgar Group poll of 1,091 likely voters was conducted on Wednesday and Thursday, showing Hochul at 47.8% and Zeldin at 43.4%, with 2.7% supporting Libertarian Larry Sharpe and 6.7% undecided. Hochul’s lead is just a bit beyond the margin of error of 2.9%.

In his social media, Zeldin touted the results by saying, “People are fed up with Hochul’s feckless leadership. This poll underscores our unprecedented momentum.”
