The NY Post has an article on Rob Astorino which contains this nugget:
“… Astorino’s challenge to Cuomo will be built around what are being called “eight key issues’’ that polling has shown to be of real importance to voters. They are … Upstate opposition to the governor’s anti-gun ownership “Safe Act,’’ which has been condemned in resolutions passed by all but two upstate counties …”
This contracts yesterday’s post on a NY Times story claiming Cuomo would attack Astorino on the issue. Cuomo’s campaign must have similar poll data indicating it is a negative issue for him.
