In the race for governor, a new Quinnipiac University poll showed Attorney General Eliot Spitzer far ahead of his rival for the Democratic nomination, Thomas R. Suozzi, the Nassau County executive. Mr. Suozzi gained six percentage points since a Quinnipiac poll in mid-January, but Mr. Spitzer still leads 69 percent to 14 percent, even though Mr. Suozzi has spent nearly $3 million on television commercials this month. Both Mr. Spitzer and Mr. Suozzi were well ahead of the three Republicans in head-to-head matchups in the Quinnipiac poll.
