New poll numbers show Republican candidate for attorney general John Cahill is closing the gap on Democrat incumbent Eric Schneiderman.

According to the poll, done by Siena College, Schneiderman still leads Cahill 50-34, but these numbers represent growing support for Cahill, who, in August, trailed his opponent 54-27.

“Mr. Cahill’s greatest strides appear to have come in upstate regions, where he now leads Mr. Schneiderman by five points, the poll found, after having trailed him by 17 points there last month,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Dave Catalfamo, spokesman for Mr. Cahill, said in a statement the poll demonstrates “that John Cahill is closing fast on Eric Schneiderman’s listless campaign about nothing.”
