Conflicting Polls Show Hochul Leading Blakeman by 9 to 19 Points in New York

Two major polls released on September 23, 2026, present sharply different pictures of the New York gubernatorial race. Siena College finds Gov. Kathy Hochul leading Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman by 9 points, while Quinnipiac University reports a 19-point lead. Both surveys confirm Hochul’s advantage but diverge significantly on the margin, with methodological differences in sample composition and undecided voter handling cited as key factors.

Siena Poll: Hochul’s Lead Narrows to 9 Points as Blakeman Gains Ground

A new Siena poll shows Gov. Kathy Hochul leading challenger Bruce Blakeman by 9 points in the New York gubernatorial race, a narrowing from last month. While Hochul’s favorability remains below 50%, 66% of voters expect her to win. Blakeman’s campaign is hampered by a negative view of Trump’s endorsement, while Hochul benefits from Mayor Mamdani’s support. Democrats hold leads in other statewide races, but voters express low confidence in the integrity of the upcoming election.
