The Republican electoral wave building across the United States is bypassing New York, as fresh public opinion polls show Gov. Kathy Hochul with a commanding lead over Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY).
In an Emerson College survey from July 26–28, Hochul led Zeldin 51% to 35%, with 7% undecided and 7% planning to support a third-party candidate. In a Siena College poll in the field from July 24–28, the governor led her Republican challenger 53% to 39%. In both surveys, a majority of New York voters were unhappy with the direction of the country. But Democrats running for statewide office are not bearing the brunt of this disappointment.
“Hochul has a clear base of women voters in New York,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in a statement. “The governor holds a 3-point lead over Zeldin among male voters, 46% to 43%, but that lead expands to 29 points among women voters, 55% to 26%.”Zeldin, who represents a district on Long Island, has faced an uphill climb in this race from the beginning.
