The New York Governor’s race will be decided in the 2010 general elections on November 2. So far, according to the latest polls, Democrat Andrew Cuomo appears to have more support than Republican Carl Paladino.

The latest poll by Quinnipiac University shows that Cuomo leads Paladino by 20 percentage points. According to the poll, Cuomo was supported by 55 percent of those likely to vote, while Paladino only had 35% supporting him. Polls however have been shown in the past to be far from accurate 100% of the time.

Paladino is a business man and community activist who is emphasizing fiscal reform and improvement in New York’s educational system. The republican is the ex-ceo of Ellicott Development Company, which he founded in 1973. He does not have nearly as much political experience as Andrew Cuomo, but he has plenty of business related knowledge that a lot of political candidates lack.

The 52-year-old Andrew Cuomo has plenty of political experience. The democrat is the current New York State Attorney General, and has worked as the 11th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 1997 – 2001 under President Bill Clinton.

When Carl Paladino was asked if he was concerned about poll numbers that show him so far behind Cuomo, he responded, “Well, polls really don’t mean anything anymore, do they? The case in point is the primary. Two days before the primary, they had me down two points. I won by 26 points. That didn’t happen in two days. I would be very curious when watching polls, and especially the Siena poll and the Marist polls, which have been so far off. Way off.”

Will the polls prove correct come the 2010 Elections, or will Paladino prove them wrong once again? Find out on Election Day, November 2.
