The far-left Democrat governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, who previously was disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s lieutenant governor is facing the fight of her life for re-election, according to a new poll. The survey done by Quinnipiac University shows Hochul barely hanging on against her Republican opponent, Congressman Lee Zeldin. Zeldin is almost within the margin of error, with Hochul leading by only four percentage points.
NY Post reports:
The Quinnipiac College survey — with a margin of error of 2% — shows Gov. Hochul with 50% support among likely voters to 46% for Zeldin, the Long Island congressman.
Hochul leads in New York City 59% to 37%.
But the race is very tight in the suburbs with Zeldin receiving 50 percent and Hochul at 49 percent.
Zeldin leads upstate 52% to 44%.
“In the blue state of New York, the race for governor is competitive. Democrats have cruised to victory in gubernatorial races since 2006, but Governor Hochul’s narrow edge puts Republican Lee Zeldin well within striking distance of her,” said Quinnipiac pollster Mary Snow.
While Hochul has attempted to ride the abortion issue to victory, as many other Democrats are attempting this election, the poll found most New Yorkers’ concern was with crime, ranking first in importance with voters at 28 percent. Coming in second was inflation at 20 percent, while “protecting democracy” came in third at 14 percent.
Oh yes, this creature, Hochul, just jumped Biden about the border thinking that’s gonna get her some votes.
She is very nervous.
And yet there are 50% of the stupid New Yorkers that will vote for this idiot woman!
But does NY have the smarts to do it.
If the voters of NY have the intelligence.
Hochul has used her position to benefit her and her family, Statium for hubby; daughter-in-law the Albany pharmaceutical lobbist not to mention her mandatory woke agenda in the schools to receive school funding, criminals over their victims, illegals over citizens and excessive use of executive powers – NO THANKS
I have a hard time believing polls…I live in the suburbs…so far I have seen 2 lawn signs in support of the witch Hochul…the Zelden signs are too numerous to count…even seeing a sign in support of Hochul baffles me that people are just that stupid to not seeing what a corrupt selfish inept Cuomo leftover she is. If she wins it will be because of shady election corruption..remember…she is backed and financed by Soros. I have the feeling they will pull what they did to Trump in the 2020 elections.
made a comment, but sadly was removed
Come on man, vote Democrat for open borders, more Fauci, more mandates, more lockdowns, unaffordable food, unaffordable gas, 11% inflation (right now), more DOJ persecution of pro-life Americans and concerned parents at school board meetings, more FBI raids, more Jan 6th witch hunts, a NUKE WAR with Russia and much more Democrat WOKE insanity.
I heard last night that a poll has Zeldin AHEAD by 1 point. No wonder a couple of months ago she told NYers that if they didn’t agree with her to “get on a bus and move to Florida”. Also, in a blue State like NY, anyone who said in the poll ” I don’t know, Undecided, or Refuse to answer”, they are most likely voting for Zeldin.
The people of NY just have to ask themselves…Do they enjoy the rampant crime ? Do they enjoy paying 2 times the costs for goods and services ? Do they feel safe with Vlad Putin and Joe Biden talking Nuclear WAR ? Are they happy with their kids being taught pornography in school ? Are they comfortable with a two-tiered justice system, whereby the left wing politicians get away with ALL acts of corruption ? If New Yorkers like these things, then vote Hochul back in…You`ll get them ALL, PLUS some more.
