From the New York Post: The race for Congress in the lower Hudson Valley is a toss up, with first-term Republican Rep. Mike Lawyer getting support from 45% of likely voters and ex-Rep. Mondaire Jones backed by 44%, a new poll released Monday found.
The Working Families Party candidate Anthony Frascone receives 3% backing and the remainder undecided, the new Emerson College/Pix 11/Hill survey in the 17th District found.
Lawler’s razor-thin 1 point lead is within the survey’s plus or minus 3.8 percent margin of error, which means the race is up for grabs.
In a separate Emerson College poll just north in the 18th District, Democratic Rep. Pat Ryan leads Republican riva Alison Espito 48% to 43%, with nearly 10 percent undecided. That’s just outside the margin of error, still a competitive race.
Both contests are among 7 competitive House races in New York’s suburbs and upstate that could determine which party controls the House of Representatives.
If Democrats take control of the House of Representatives, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries would likely end up as Speaker of the House.
