In the News: Unite NY Poll: Hochul Leads Lawler by Single Digits

The Daily Post reports that "A new poll from Unite NY and Citizen Data shows incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul leading GOP challenger Congressman Michael Lawler by just 8 percentage points (46% to 38%), despite the fact that Lawler has not declared a run for Governor."
