So there's a question that a lot of people are asking right now and that is is there a real chance that a red wave could be coming?

There are always signs when you're getting ready for a national election and there are signs that can tell you what could be happening.

One of those signs is one that happened this morning and it's a big one. Republican Lee Zeldin has just taken the lead in the New York Governor's race.

Now this is a race where Republicans have not been putting as much money into the race as they should have because it seemed like it would be virtually impossible for a Republican to win in New York.

This is one of those big oops, one of those big mistakes that the Republicans have clearly made.

Now Republicans are going to be rushing to find Lee Zeldin because this new poll says he's taking the lead in New York's gubernatorial race.

Now to put this in perspective, you had Cuomo who was the governor there less than a year ago.

You had a hardcore liberal governor that shut down everything that advocated for the shutting down of New York City, shutting down a business, shutting down schools, shutting down a virtually every aspect of life in New York.

This the place it had COVID-19 mandates where you couldn't go into a restaurant into a bar, you couldn't go into anything without showing proof of vaccination.

The Democratic Party created that environment. The Democratic Party was in favor of that.

Now you have a Republican in Lee Zeldin who has said, I think the people of New York didn't like it and overstepped and he went out there and decided to go and attempt to house the Democratic governor,

Kathy Hogell who is the woman who replaced Chris Cuomo, R. H. C. Andrew Cuomo, after the disaster that was his resignation.

The poll found that of the 1,198 likely general election voters, 48.4% would vote for Zeldin. 47.6% would vote for the Democratic candidate, the current Democratic governor.

Is there a chance that the Democratic could pull this off? Of course, it's New York.

There was four percentage points that were undecided. Zeldin leads the Democratic incumbent by less than a point and within the margin of error.

But the poll sampled 1,198 likely general election voters from October the 27th through the 31st with a 2.9% margin of error and a 95% confident level.

The poll respondents were 53.6% Democrats, which is a very fair makeup of the state, 27.5% Republican, and 18.9% had no party or other affiliation.

That is an accurate sample of New York. The majority of the people in New York, they say that they are Democrats. That's what they say.

If you had a poll that was 50s and 50s, you would have a bad poll. You need more Democrats in your poll than Republicans, because that's the makeup of the state.

Now, the poll comes just one day after the New York Times published a story explaining how Zeldin surging in the polls had caused national Democrats to worry about the race and therefore the effect a major upset would have on down ballot races in the state if he was able to win.

This was in the New York Times. This is an article they never could have imagined they had to write.

Similar to what happened in Virginia last year is how the New York Times described it when you had a shocker there because then, Kenneth Glen-Junkin was looked at by the laughter of no chance in hell of winning and sure enough, Glen-Junkin is now the governor of Virginia.
