- J.L. Partners' poll shows a tight general-election matchup between Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., with Hochul leading 46% to 43%, within the 4.4% margin of error.
- Republican name recognition explains part of Stefanik's lead, with more than three-quarters of Republican voters viewing her favorably while Bruce Blakeman remains little known.
