Lee Zeldin must court Hispanics to try and overcome gender gap vs. Kathy Hochul: experts

By Carl Campanile and Zach Williams

Republican Lee Zeldin will need to close a yawning gender gap with female voters and make inroads among Hispanics for a shot at pulling off an upset against Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, political experts said Tuesday.

The Siena College poll released Tuesday shows Hochul with 59% support among women to 33% for Zeldin, the Long Island congressman, while they split the male vote evenly.

That’s a staggering 26 percentage point gap among female voters.

Even Republican Party operatives not affiliated with the Zeldin campaign said it’s a tough hill to climb — but not insurmountable — for the GOP candidate.

The conservative-leaning US Supreme Court did not do Republican candidates in liberal-leaning New York any favors by overturning the federal right to an abortion — turning it into a local campaign issue against Republicans — though the procedure to terminate a pregnancy is still legally protected in the Empire State and unlikely to be changed.

Mr. Zeldin will make a good run of it, but in the end, he doesn't stand a chance of winning.
