The polls were conducted by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion among likely voters, including those who have voted early and those who are undecided, but leaning toward a candidate . The data was collected last week. Election Day is Tuesday.

Cuomo, the state attorney general, has a 19 percentage-point lead over Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino. Cuomo received 56 percent, compared to Paladino's 37 percent.

1. It's just hard to say why a warm, inclusive, and charming

individual like Carl Paladino didn't win over more New Yorkers' hearts.

9. Don't you think 37% is kind of outrageous... after all, he's about the

most loathsome guy in the state, other than convicted serial child molesters

10. I only hold Carl up to abject ridicule on the grounds of

his despicable personality because time is running out for that pleasure.

I think he's not going to be in the news all that much by tomorrow evening this time.

11. It scares me when someone like Paladino can poll at 37%.

12. The percentage is too high, agree, especially given

the public face Paladino has given his own campaign.

All crass & no class.

7. He has run a solid campaign IMO

He let old Meg spend all her $$'s while he sat back.

Let's hope it works!

8. Hard to believe 37% of NY state residents are stupid enough to...

vote for Paladino.

WTF??

That number should be in the high teens, at most.
