New York Times/CBS News Poll finds remarkably small number of New Yorkers undecided in contest for US Senate seat between Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Hillary Rodham Clinton, year before election; finds voter interest already equals that in single month before Election Day 1998, reflecting electorate both highly informed and opinionated about race to succeed Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who is retiring in 2001; finds both are in statistical dead heat, with Giuliani having support of 46 percent of voters and Clinton 41 percent, with 8 percent undecided; finds Clinton's favorable rating over Giuliani on health care and education, most important concerns among voters, has been offset by perceptions of her over six months that potential candidacy has received sustained attention; finds Giuliani is viewed more favorably in some important ways that in spring of 1999, with majority of voters statewide now believing that he cares more about problems and needs of New York City residents and those in surrounding suburbs; poll strongly suggests key to election is likely to be which campaign is successful in first identifying and appealing to distinct class of New Yorkers who have yet to take sides in contest, while reinforcing voters who currently support them; chart (M)
