New York State: Cuomo Atop Paladino for Govenor; Gillibrand and DioGuardi Even for US Senate; Schumer Re-Elected: In an election for New York Governor today, 09/22/10, 1 week after
the Primary and 6 weeks until the General Election, Democrat Andrew Cuomo defeats Republican Carl Paladino 49% to 40%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for Gannett,
including WGRZ-TV in Buffalo, The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, and the Journal News in White Plains. Lower-income voters account for all of Cuomo's lead. The contest is effectively even
among middle-income and upper-income voters. Cuomo leads 2:1 in New York City. Paladino leads 5:3 in Western NY. The candidates are effectively even in the NYC suburbs and Upstate.
Consistent with SurveyUSA polling in other statewide races: men in 2010 are voting Republican, women in 2010 are voting Democrat; there is a 34-point gender gap for Governor. New York voters
will, unusually, elect 2 United States Senators in 2010. In the Special Election to fill the final 2 years of Hillary Rodham Clinton's term, incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand and former
Congressman Republican Joe DioGuardi today finish effectively even, Gillibrand's nominal 1-point lead being within the survey's theoretical margin of sampling error. Gillibrand leads in the 5
boroughs of NYC, trails elsewhere. Men vote Republican, women vote Democrat and, in this contest, cancel each other out. Lower-income voters break significantly Democrat. Middle-income and
upper-income voters break slightly Republican. In New York's general election for US Senate , incumbent Democrat Chuck Schumer is reelected, defeating Republican Jay Townsend 54% to
33%. Schumer leads among both men and women, among both young and old, among both whites and minorities. 1 in 4 Republicans cross over to vote for Schumer; Independents favor Schumer
by 17 points. Schumer wins in NYC and its suburbs, leads in WNY, trails upstate.

Filtering: SurveyUSA interviewed 1,000 New York adults 09/20/10 through 09/21/10. Of them, 867 were registered to vote. Of the registered voters, 572 were identified by SurveyUSA as being
likely to vote in the November general election.

Statement of Methodology: About the Poll: This poll was conducted by telephone in the voice of a professional announcer. Respondent households were selected at random, using Random Digit
Dialed (RDD) sample provided by Survey Sampling, of Fairfield CT. All respondents heard the questions asked identically. The pollster's report includes the geography that was surveyed; the
date(s) interviews were conducted, the number of respondents who answered each question and the theoretical margin of sampling error for each question. Where necessary, respondents were
weighted using the most recent US Census estimates for age, gender, ethnic origin and region, to align the sample to the population. In theory, one can say with 95% certainty that the results
would not vary by more than the stated margin of sampling error, in one direction or the other, had the entire universe of respondents with home telephones been interviewed with complete
accuracy. There are other possible sources of error in all surveys that may be more serious than sampling error. These include: the difficulty of interviewing respondents who do not have a home
telephone; the refusal by some with home telephones to be interviewed; the order in which questions are asked; the wording of questions; the way and extent to which data are weighted; and the
manner in which specialized populations, such as likely voters, are determined. It is difficult to quantify the errors that may result from these and other factors. Research methodology, questionnaire
design and fieldwork for this survey were completed by SurveyUSA of Clifton, NJ. This statement conforms to the principles of disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls.
