Hochul Leads Blakeman by 9 Points in New Poll of Likely Voters for New York Governor

  • On Wednesday, Governor Kathy Hochul leads Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman 50-41% in a new Siena poll, maintaining a nine-point advantage in the gubernatorial race.
  • The race remains consistent with August's results, when Hochul led 49-39%, as candidates prepare for the election in six weeks with minimal movement between polls.
  • Geographically, Hochul leads in New York City with 61% support, while Blakeman leads on Long Island 51-43%, reflecting a sharp regional divide in voter preferences.
  • Voters view President Donald Trump's endorsement of Blakeman as negative 51-30%, while 50% consider Mayor Zohran Mamdani's endorsement of Hochul positive for her campaign.
  • Despite the single-digit polling gap, 66% of likely voters expect Hochul will secure a second full term, driven by New York's two-to-one Democratic enrollment advantage.
