In a similar finding to a Marist Poll released Tuesday, Rasmussen Reports has New York's Democratic senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, running neck-and-neck with former Gov. George Pataki.

Gillibrand leads Pataki, who has not announced he would run, by a statistically insignificant 44 percent to 42 percent with 4 percent preferring some other candidate and 9 percent undecided. The margin of error is 4.5 points. The poll was conducted March 1.

If New York Daily News publisher Mortimer Zuckerman gets in the race, Gillibrand leads him 47 percent to 36 percent with 8 percent preferring someone else and 10 percent undecided.

Marist had Pataki ahead of Gillibrand by 48 percent to 45 percent, within the poll's 4 point margin of error.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
