The Sean Eldridge campaign Tues., Oct. 21, announced the Democrat candidate has reduced the lead held by his opponent, incumbent Chris Gibson, in the 19th Congressional District race. Gibson now leads Eldridge by 10 points, with 18 percent of voters still undecided, according to a statement released by campaign spokeswoman Sophie Friedman. The poll, conducted by Global Strategy Group between Oct. 16 and Oct. 19, had voters split 46 percent for Gibson and 36 percent for Eldridge. The Eldridge campaign contends Gibson's lead has been reduced by half over a survey done three weeks ago. However, a poll conducted just last week by Public Opinion Strategies for the Gibson campaign showed the two-term Congressman led his challenger by 26 points, 56 percent to 30 percent. That survey also found district voters have a strong personal opinion of Gibson, 62 percent favorable versus 19 percent for Eldridge. Election Day is Nov. 4.
