GOP Rep. Mike Lawler (R‑NY) is ahead of Democratic challenger Cait Conley in a new internal poll for the 17th Congressional District, the campaign disclosed to the New York Post.

The Lawler campaign commissioned McLaughlin & Associates to survey 400 likely voters from Sept. 28‑30. The poll shows Lawler at 50% and Conley at 47%, with a 4.9% margin of error.
What the report adds
The same poll indicates Lawler leads among Republicans 92%‑6% and independents 52%‑40%, while 20% of Democrats favor him versus 79% for Conley. It also notes GOP gubernatorial nominee Bruce Blakeman leads Democrat Kathy Hochul 51%‑47% in the district.
What was said

How it came about
Earlier this week a PIX 11/Emerson College poll gave Conley a two‑point edge, highlighting the race’s volatility. Lawler’s campaign released its own data to counter that trend.
