The Westchester Brief | 11.02.26: 3 Polls Put Hochul Up 11 to 14
Description
Three major polls put Gov. Kathy Hochul ahead of Bruce Blakeman by 11 to 14 points as of October 30. In New York's 17th Congressional District, which includes part of Westchester County, the one poll from a news organization has Cait Conley and Rep. Mike Lawler within 2 points. We found no public poll for the 16th District or for Westchester State Senate, Assembly or County Legislature races, and we explain how to read who paid for a poll.
