Poll: New York Governor Race Neck and Neck, Democrat Kathy Hochul Barely Leads Republican Lee Zeldin

Paul Bois 3 Apr 2022

Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will not coast to reelection, with the latest poll putting her just four points ahead of her Republican challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin.

Surveying 830 likely voters between March 28-31 with a 3.4 percentage point margin of error, the poll from Republican consulting firm Big Dog Strategies showed that Hochul holds a slim four-point lead over the congressman – 35 percent support versus Zeldin’s 31 percent. The poll also showed that Zeldin leads disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo by six points in a hypothetical matchup.

According to the New York Post, Hochul will face a fierce battle for reelection, with the same poll showing that 41 percent of voters view her unfavorably versus 31 percent favorably, “with more than a quarter undecided.”

“Hochul only led Zeldin, a Long Island congressman, in the downstate New York City and suburban market, 35 percent to 30 percent,” the Post noted.

“Zeldin led Hochul by more than 35 points in the Syracuse region and was slightly ahead in other parts of upstate,” it added.

Supposedly the Dems have a bottomless pit of money. They are going to be stretched hard this year with normally blow out races becoming close and hot.

In the days where the unions paid most of the tab, if the GOP was highly competitive the Dems couldn't cover all the bases. It will be interesting if that claim holds up in the new paradigm of Dem funding by the woke billionaires.
