Kathy Hochul Has Big Leads for Democratic Nomination

By Leave a Comment

A new Siena poll in New York finds Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) leads her closest possible Democratic primary opponent by between 14 and 19 points in three possible scenarios.

And this is interesting: “Former President Donald Trump has long been the pol with the lowest favorability rating among New York voters. No more. Trump has a 37-59 percent favorability rating, net 22 points negative. Andrew Cuomo is 33-60 percent, net 27 points negative. And Bill de Blasio is 25-56 percent, net 31 points negative.”
