(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In a shocking revelation, polls have shown that Republican candidate for New York Governor, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, leads Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul, Breitbart reported.
In an interview, Zeldin credited his increasing popularity to his team and their hard work over the past several years.
“Over the last year, we have built an unparalleled movement, powered by thousands of volunteers, tens of thousands of grassroots donations and scores of New Yorkers who are waking up and all in to Save Our State,” said Zeldin said.
He also added that New Yorkers are ready to hear his message after many years of difficulties caused by Democrat leadership.
“These numbers aren’t because of luck. They’re thanks to hard work, the right message, strategy and execution, and also taking absolutely nothing for granted,” Zeldin added.

“Just released poll shows we’re leading Hochul 45.5% to 44% in the race for [governor]!” Zeldin tweeted.
“For the Zeldin-Esposito ticket, losing is not an option. We are going to win this race, because we have to win this race,” he added.
According to Zeldin, conservatives have a lot of momentum heading into 2022, and his situation is a bellwether.
“As we continue to get our message out coming off of this month’s Republican and Conservative Party conventions and after airing television and radio ads statewide since the beginning of February,” Zeldin said.
He also noted that he expects a “red wave,” even in the notoriously liberal New York.
“It’s never been more clear that we have the issues on our side, we have the momentum of our side, and there’s a big red wave headed straight for New York in 2022.”
