New York Gov. Kathy Hochul enjoys a 16-point lead over her Republican opponent, Rep. Lee Zeldin, that is fueled by her solid base of support in New York City and women throughout the Empire State, according to a poll released Tuesday.
Emerson College Polling said the Democratic governor leads Mr. Zeldin, 51% to 35%, with about three months to go before the general election.
“Hochul has a clear base of women voters in New York. The governor holds a three-point lead over Zeldin among male voters, 46% to 43%, but that lead expands to 29 points among women voters, 55% to 26%,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.
