Republican candidate John Cahill gained ground on Democratic incumbent Eric Schneiderman in the race fo൲r state a⛄ttorney general, a poll released Friday found.
The Siena College s🐻urvey found that 50 percent of 809 registered l🌱ikely voters would re-elect Schneiderman, while 34 percent would vote for Cahill.
Last month, Schneiderman had a 54-27 lead over Cahil﷽l, who served as chief of staf🍬f to former Gov. George Pataki.
Cahill got a bump thanks to an agg🃏ressive TV ad campaign in which he attacks Schneiderman for the AG’s handling of ethics probes.
Cahill led by five points among upstate voters, but t🃏railed Schneiderman badly in the city and suburbs, the new poll showed.
Schneiderman, who is looking fꦗor a second term in office, also leads by 71 points among black voters and 42 points with Latin✅os. The candidates split the white vote.
Meanwhile, the same poll shows Gov. Cuomo leading GOP rival Rob Astorino 56-27, and Democratic state C♛omptroller Tom Di Napoli is ahead of Republican challenger Bob Antonacci by a 2-to-1 ratio.
