New York Times/CBS News poll finds New York voters are growing increasingly critical of caustic tone of campaign for Senate between incumbent Sen Alfonse M D'Amato and Democratic challenger Repr Charles E Schumer, but that daily attacks have yet to sway significant numbers; both are favored by 44 percent of likely voters with 10 percent of voters remaining undecided, same as in poll taken three weeks ago; growing number of voters believe race is harsher than 1992, when D'Amato defeated Robert Abrams in contest many New York politicians still consider benchmark for negative campaigns in state over last decade; are more likely to blame D'Amato for harsh tenor of race, saying he is spending more time attacking than explaining his programs, and is more likely than Schumer to be unfair in attacks; victory may turn largely on decision of 10 percent of undecideds, who poll suggests, have not paid much attention to contest until now and do not have particularly firm opinions about either candidate; D'Amato campaigns with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani on October 26, while Schumer is endorsed by former Police Comr William J Bratton; charts (L)
