Poll: Lazio Gains Ground in Governor's Race

The following is from the Associated Press:

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A Siena College poll shows Republican Rick
Lazio has pulled ahead of Gov. David Paterson in the race for
governor and is apparently making small gains against potential
Democratic candidate Andrew Cuomo.

The former congressman from Long Island moved from a tie with
Paterson in January to take a 46 percent to 39 percent lead.
Lazio remains well behind Cuomo, 26 percent to 63 percent. He
improved by two points, while Cuomo dropped by three.

Cuomo, the state's attorney general, won't say if he'll run and
refuses to comment on what he'd do as governor, although he's
holding governor-sized fundraisers. Forty-one percent of voters say
he should announce his candidacy now.

The poll released Monday questioned 805 registered voters last
Sunday through Friday. It has a margin of error of 3.5 points.
