Hochul’s Lead Shrinks as Blakeman Gains Ground in Siena Poll

A Siena College poll (Aug. 3–6, 811 likely voters, margin of error ±4.6) shows Gov. Kathy Hochul’s lead over Bruce Blakeman narrowing to 49-39% with under three months until Election Day; independent voters favor Blakeman by five points (45-40), and the DSA has a negative statewide favorability rating. Hochul leads in New York City (64-19%) but trails Blakeman in the downstate suburbs and is roughly even upstate. Voters rate Hochul better on affordability and housing, while Blakeman has tied to Trump for endorsement. The race remains highly partisan, with Democrats solid with Hochul and Republicans with Blakeman.

Hochul Holds Narrow Edge as Blakeman Remains Largely Unknown in Siena Poll

Governor Kathy Hochul leads Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman 47-34 in Siena’s March poll, a smaller margin than February’s 51-31; Hochul’s favorability (45-42) and job approval (52-40) are largely unchanged, while Blakeman remains largely unknown (64% have not heard of him). The survey also shows bipartisan support for two-year legislative terms, easier access to pepper spray, a majority supporting congressional approval to wage war and voting-ID requirements, and steady presidential ratings with Letitia James winning broad, though not overwhelming, re-election support.
