Loudonville, NY. Governor Kathy Hochul holds double-digit leads over both Rep. Elise Stefanik (Hochul leads 49-30%, with 20% undecided) and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman (50-25%, 21% undecided), according to a new Siena Poll of New York State registered voters released today.
Voters support, 65-27%, universal free childcare for infants through pre-K, paid for by increased taxes on New York taxpayers earning more than $1 million. By a narrower 50-41% New York City voters support eliminating bus fares, paid for by increased taxes on City taxpayers earning more than $1 million.

My guess, Congress gets old and Elise lost out on the U.N. position which would have been a stepping stone to a media career. So she is running in a big media market and will lose but use the races as media stepping stone - i.e. Judge Jeanine running against Hillary.

The usual deal offered by the democrats—‘vote for us, we’ll take money from other people and spend it on you.’
My kin folk are notching up their grave spinning to 2200 rpm.
you have to be a masochist or paid really well to stay in NY or NYC.
The liberal mindset is like an infectious disease, it spreads when people become self righteous. I blame the internet for empowering the narcissists and kooks.
New York voters should move to China. China already has these programs.
NY likes being evil. Let them reap what they sow.
i call BS on a 25pt lead over Blakeman....
All the smart people have already left New York.
Or are planning their exit :)
Very appealing to people who the Dems import in and don't like to work.
It’s a shame. I was born and raised in the NYC area (I left 25 years ago) and there are some really beautiful areas throughout the state, lots of places of historical interest, museums, etc. But the Left has ruined it.
No doubt. It's quickly becoming one of those states that are great to visit, but not live in.
That's because thousands of New Yorkers like Trump and Sean Hannity all live in Florida.

It’s a race to see if Californication or NY will be the first fully communist state.
Fake poll to help Dem fundraising.
My mother in law lives in the Finger Lakes area—in a rural section.
She is a life-long Democrat who has learned everything she knows about politics from the radio. (She does not even have a TV or computer.)
Almost everything she believes about anything is wrong—and is not going to change.
She votes whenever she is told to do so on the radio.
No. China does not have either free bus fare or child care. They’re more capitalistic than we are,which is why they’re beating us.
Perhaps the percentages are off, but Stephanik still has zero chance.
