Hochul Leads in NY Governor Race, Progressive Policies Backed
Governor Kathy Hochul leads potential Republican opponents in the 2026 New York gubernatorial race, according to a Siena College poll. She holds a nineteen-point lead over Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and a fifty-point lead over Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Hochuls approval rating has improved, with fifty-two percent of voters approving of her job performance and forty-three percent viewing her favorably. In potential primary contests, Hochul maintains a wide lead over Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado among Democrats. Voters are skeptical about whether either Hochul or Stefanik would lower the cost of living, but there is strong support for progressive tax policies. The poll was conducted from December 8th to 12th and has a margin of error of plus or minus four point one percentage points.
