ALBANY -- A stunning new poll released yesterday shows controversial megamillionaire Buffalo builder Carl Paladino overtaking former Long Island Congress man Rick Lazio in Tuesday's Republican gubernatorial primary.
The Siena College Research Institute survey found that the hard-charging Paladino (pictured) -- who has vowed to turn state government "upside down" -- is now trailing Lazio by just 43-42 percent among likely GOP voters, a dramatic change from a Siena poll last month that showed him trailing Lazio by 43-30 percent.

Lazio us a RINO who supports abortion and is ant-gun
I cannot believe govnervative party in NY endorsed him- he is also going to lose THAT line in the primary
The NY GOP hand picked this RINO and is full of good-ol-boy old time politico's WHO NEED TO GO!
Hey, I haven’t been paying attention.
Now I have to go vote on Tuesday.
Lazio is a nice guy but we don’t need nice guys in Albany. We need a you-know-what who will stand up to Shelly and the boys, and throw Albany into a massive hissy fit.
Palladino is picking up ALL the undecideds and should blast past Lazio by Tues.
WHO HOO!!! I met Paladino - he was extremely nice especially to my children and that shows me everything i need to know.
His children we so nice too- they were not spoiled rich kids
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO VOTE TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE PRIMARIES ARE WHERE WE DEFEAT RINO’S!!!!!!!
Your vote is worth 1000 time as much. Get all your friends and family too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If he supports abortion he's not a nice guy..........
Lazio is truly a lightweight. Beating Cuomo is nearly impossible, but perhaps a Ray of hope.
Palladino votes already in the mail from me and my wife.
Lazio’s refusal to debate Palladino is telling. He is a lightweight.
Wow! I donated to Lazio’s campaign against Hillary but he’s done nothing this time around to get people excited.
I wondered about Paladino’s viability, just because of being from Buffalo. I wasn’t sure that downstaters would vote for him.
Cuomo may be inevitable anyway, but I had already decided to vote for Paladino Tuesday. This is great news. The race will be a lot more interesting if he’s in it! We already know that Lazio can’t win a statewide race.
yes, Lazio is a nice guy and I appreciated him running against Hillary, BUT he is not conservative enough for me. so, by default, I support Paladino.
Go George Phillips for Congress!
If the election was held today, Cuomo would romp.
The election will NOT be held today.
If Palladino can beat Lazio, I think he WILL have a shot against Cuomo. I live in New York and I don’t know one person who wants another Cuomo in Albany, and with today’s political climate being what it is, Palladino has a shot.
This would have been the perfect time to go after Schumer, too. Hell, if I didn’t have so many skeletons in MY closet, I’d run against his ass.
Paladino ever explain all those donations to flaming lefties...?
I read the email he wrote in defense of his "politically incorrect" humor. It's a good response; and I actually do believe it's 100% sincere. But when someone warns you that something is offensive, listen.
WOULD YOU QUIT BEING A WET BLANKET!!!!!!!!
WHAT MOTIVATIONAL CLASS DID YOU LEARN THIS FROM ???????????
IF WE CAN’T WIN IN *THIS* CLIMATE THEN WE ***NEVER*** WILL
GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN!@
I plan onm voting for paladino.
Paladion DID explain his past donations- the Politics in New York practically require you to donate to BOTH parties to stay in business, and he IS a businessman
I am not sure if i have seen a Paladino - Cuomo matchup poll- but I have seen Lazio-Cuomo poll an Lazio loses by a huge margin.
Which makes me wonder why the NY Gop and Canservative party bother to back him
A Paladino PRIMARY win against lazio would generate news nation wide as ANOTHER TEA PARTY WIN!
The EXCITEMENT FROM THAT COULD TRANSLATE INTO A HUGE REPUBLICAN TURNOUT AND A CHANCE TO UN-SEAT *TWO* US SENATORS!! (INCLUDING CHUCKY SCHUMER!!!!!!!)
