Maloney leads Hayworth 49-44 percent, which represents just a small change from the 50-42 percent lead the incumbent had six weeks ago, the poll said.
“Millions of dollars in advertising, thousands of phone calls and door bells rung, debates, and lots of plain old campaigning over the last six weeks, and not much has changed in this race,” Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg said in a statement. “Maloney had led by eight points and now leads by five points, while seven percent of voters remain undecided. Maloney continues to do a better job than Hayworth of holding on to his base, although Hayworth made some progress in bringing more Republicans into her camp. Independents, who had given Hayworth a small edge, are now divided between the two candidates."
Hayworth's greatest gains came in Putnam and Westchester counties, Greenberg said. Maloney once held a narrow lead in the two counties, but is now trailing Hayworth by nine points.
