Gov. Kathy Hochul leads her Republican opponent Bruce Blakeman by just 4 percentage points, according to a bombshell new poll.
Just 47% of those surveyed said they’d back the Democratic incumbent, compared to 43% who supported the Nassau County executive, with 10% of registered voters undecided, the poll, conducted by a pro-Blakeman super PAC found.
Only 38% of respondents said they viewed Hochul favorably — and 58% unfavorably — in a survey of 2,000 registered voters conducted by pollster Red Oak Strategic for the “Strong and Safe” super PAC.
Meanwhile, only 39% of voters approved of Hochul’s job performance compared to 56% who disapproved.
Anti-incumbent fever is running high, according to the poll, a summary of which was obtained by The Post.
Only 33% of voters say Hochul, who is seeking a second full, four-year term, deserves re-election while 61% say it is time to give someone else a chance, according to the survey, conducted from July 7–12.
“The environment favors a challenger: just 33% say New York is headed in the right direction vs. 57% wrong track,” Red Oak Strategic said in its July 21 polling memo to “interested parties.”
Blakeman is viewed favorably by 30% of voters and 23% unfavorably — while 47% of voters have never heard of him or have no opinion, with less than 100 days until the Nov. 3 general election.

Is that counting the Democrat 10-point margin-of-cheating?
the race includes the disruptive Libertarian that’ll impact Blakeman
the ‘brains’ behind hte democrat party are gonna have ot pull an all night ‘think session’ to figure out how to cheat her back in
C’mon, New York! Show us the way!
Do the RIGHT thing and banish your LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Communist/Democrats to the ash heap of history!
YOU CAN DO THIS!
How far behind him IQ wise is she? Gotta be pretty bad.
Dang. It sure would be nice to see that skank, Hochul, get her commie azz kicked.
Hochul didn’t do herself any favors going along with Blakeman being blocked from speaking at the Dominican Day Parade. She was in the Hamptons fundraising, but she showed her communist colors by going along with it. Nobody gets a voice except the tyrants.
Not to mention she looks like a battered old witch.
Hochul tweeted “LaPied-a-Terre” when Evan Sidrey speculated LeBron may choose NYC resident.
Greedy ain’t she?
I’ve never heard any explanation for her very off affect. Comes across as a survivor of a minor stroke or perhaps some other neurological condition
You’ve seen the witch hitting the telephone pole ornaments. They always remind me of her and Pelosie. They always make me smile.
What an EVIL woman. She’s like a caricature of evil.
Longtime New Yorkers fume after being hit with massive pied-à-terre tax bills: ‘Is this a witch hunt?’
Did anyone see the article today where they found 230,000 illegal votes in the NYC mayors race. So tell me how a republican is ever going to win the governors race in NY?
NY and California are such major vote fraud states.
Gov. Hochul bizarrely claims Mamdani’s brand-new pied-à-terre tax list is ‘not out of the ordinary’
“After carefully counting the ballots 10 times over 6months, it’s Hochul in a landslide!”
It is a list of property owners and their real estate taxes. This list is public record, has always been available and is updated yearly. I've used it many times when fighting the yearly assessments.
mamdani probably just found out about this list and is misleading the public what to what it actually is.
It would be better if this were 43-39 - Hochul is still very close to 50% at 47%, and she has a lot more voters to "come home" to her in the pool of New York voters.
Is it in the margin of fraud?😀
