Sienna College pollster Steven Greenberg says there have been blistering attack ads on both sides.

"The campaign has moved forward such that right now, Zeldin has a narrow lead heading into Election Day," he said.

Meanwhile, the GOP on Staten Island is closing ranks with indicted congressman Michael Grimm.

"Republicans in a big way have moved back to Grimm to solidify his date," Greenberg said.

Grimm is expanding a four-point lead to 19 over Democratic challenger Domenic Recchia.
