ALBANY (AP) -- Rick Lazio is maintaining a lead over Carl Paladino in the race for the Republican nomination for governor in New York, but it could be shaky.
Lazio, a former congressman, has a 47 percent to 35 percent lead over Paladino, a millionaire Buffalo developer.
But the Quinnipiac University poll shows a lot of unsure Republicans as the Sept. 14 primary approaches.
Eighteen percent are undecided and nearly half say they could change their mind.
Paladino's voters say they are more certain they will stick to their choice.
The winning Republican will face Democratic nominee Andrew Cuomo.
Lazio also has the Conservative Party line and Paladino has his newly formed Taxpayers line which could keep both candidates in the race until the November general election.
Quinnipiac questioned 359 Republicans who are considered likely primary voters. The poll, conducted from Aug. 23 through Tuesday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.2 points.
