Hochul's lead over Zeldin grows in latest Sienna College poll

Sep 28, 2022 12:45 pm

Luis Ferré-Sadurní and Nicholas Fandos report in the New York Times that Gov. Kathy Hochul has extended her lead over Republican challenger Lee Zeldin from 14 points in August to 17 points in a new poll from Siena College released on Sept. 28. Voting begins Oct. 29, so that is a steep hill for Zeldin, with only 77 percent of Republicans saying they would vote for him, down from 84 percent in August. Zeldin has a slight lead upstate, but trails by a large margin in New York City, and a smaller margin in the city's suburbs. Hochul, a Democrat, outspent Zeldin $7 million to $1 million on television ads in September, although conservative cosmetics heir Ronald S. Lauder has added more than $3 million into a pair of pro-Zeldin super PACs recently. The poll also found the other Democrats running statewide — Senator Chuck Schumer; Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli; and Attorney General Letitia James — with large leads over their Republican opponents in their races.
