Kathy Hochul leads Lee Zeldin by 24 points 11 weeks before NY election: poll
Gov. Kathy Hochul has a whopping 24-point lead over Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin with 11 weeks to go before Election Day, according to a new poll released Tuesday.
The incumbent Democrat had 55% support among likely voters in the poll conducted between Aug. 17 and Aug. 22 by SurveyUSA on behalf of WNYT-TV in Albany. Another 31% backed Zeldin and 14% said they were undecided.
There was some good news for Zeldin in the survey, with 33% of voters saying battling inflation was the most important issue when it comes to deciding their vote for governor. Health care and criminal justice reform were a distant second on 12% each.

Very very narrowly - believe Trump only beat Biden by about 1,000 votes but a victory is a victory - Dix Hills and the Hamptons vote for the Dems, but GOP gets a lot of what’s in between - doesn’t change the fact that when I was out there in March there were way too many people voluntarily wearing those worthless Biden bibs. 😂
How many of the D’s either work for the government or are subsidized by the government of the 55%?
Doesn’t matter if it’s 100% of them or 0% of them, that’s the mathematical reality of the NY electorate.
If you want to win statewide as a Republican you have to get a significant number of register democrats to vote for you.. or have a D candidate running against you that is so bad democrats stay home.
The fact this democrat is polling at 55% actually shows how weak she is, to only be at 55% means she either not carrying a sizable number of democrats or literally everyone who is not a democrat is voting against her (highly unlikely)
That’s why any Democrat-led city is hopeless. It takes someone like a Giuliani to clean up a place like NYC. Dinkins let it become so nasty that even Dems were clamoring for law and order. I think Adams is close.
So if the undecided are just afraid of saying that support Lee Zeldin, then Zeldin has potentially 44% to Hockeystick’s 55%.
No way Zeldin beats this witch, I think it’s a 7-2 Democrat/GOP enrollment state.
Its a cycle...
Democratic strongholds run their places into the ground... eventually it gets so bad they elect a Republican... they come in and clean it up... and once things are reasonably stable.. they go back to voting Democrats who run it back into the ground....
Can’t fix stupid.
It can be argued that stupid is not the problem.
The leftwing leaders that were allowed to live, came back and assumed minor positions of power from which they reinitiated their agenda.
Allowing the leadership to live is the problem
No, its stupidity... the voters put the folks back in power... Short memories... Digital distractions (bread and circuses).... Eventually it gets so bad people pick their heads up and pay attention... then once things get calm again go right back to the same stupidity...
Its stupidity and complacency.
