NY-GOV: Hochul leads Stefanik by 14 points in NY governor poll [View all]

[RandySF]

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) holds a 14-point lead over Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) in a new poll from Siena, down from the 23-point lead the incumbent enjoyed in June.

Fifty-three percent of those polled said they approve of the job Hochul is doing, while 42 percent disapproved and 5 percent didn’t have an opinion.

The poll suggested that independents are shifting toward Stefanik, which could help the Republican if she is to deprive Hochul of a second term.

“More than two-thirds of Democrats are with Hochul and three-quarters of Republicans are with Stefanik. Independents are closely divided, leaning toward Stefanik, after favoring Hochul in June,” Siena pollster Steven Greenberg said in a Tuesday release.
