Gillibrand Holds 3-Point Lead Over Pataki

UTICA, New York - Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand holds a slim lead over former Gov. George Pataki in a possible match-up this November, while Democrat Andrew Cuomo holds a two-to-one lead over Republican Rick Lazio in a potential race for Governor of New York State.

Those results come from a Zogby Interactive survey of 800 New York State likely voters conducted between March 19th and March 22nd and carries a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percentage points.

The poll also found that despite ongoing ethics problems for Gov. David Paterson, only 27% of likely voters believe he should resign, while 57% want him to complete his term and 16% are not sure.
