ALBANY — Rep. Elise M. Stefanik is closing the polling gap with Gov. Kathleen C. Hochul as she continues to weigh running for the job next year.

According to the latest Siena College Research Institute poll, released Tuesday, Hochul still does better than Stefanik in a one-on-one contest, but the 23-point gap between the two potential candidates recorded in June has shrunk to 14 percentage points. If the election were today and the only two options are Stefanik and Hochul, 45% of voters said they would pick Hochul and 31% said they would pick Stefanik.
