Malliotakis Narrowly Leads Rose in Tight Staten Island Race, NBC 4/Marist Poll Finds

WNBC News

Staten Island Rep. Max Rose is narrowly trailing in his bid for a second term, in what appears to be one of the few truly tight Congressional races nationwide, according to an exclusive NBC 4 New York / Marist Poll released Monday.

The first-term Democrat Rose trails Republican Nicole Malliotakis 48 percent to 46 percent among likely voters in New York's 11th Congressional District, a gap well within the poll's margin of error. Malliotakis is a long-time member of the state Assembly who lost a bid for mayor in 2017.

But among all registered voters, Rose leads Malliotakis by one point, suggesting he would benefit strongly from higher turnout.
