NEW YORK (77WABC) — Heading into next week’s primary, a new poll shows New York Governor Kathy Hochul holds a commanding lead over other Democratic hopefuls.
The SurveyUSA poll finds Rep. Lee Zeldin and former White House staffer Andrew Giuliani in a virtual dead heat for the Republican primary nod. The poll finds Hochul comes out the winner against either Republican challenger by a 20-point margin.
Among 538 likely republican voters, Zeldin gets 25% support, against 23% for Giuliani, 13% for Harry Wilson and 8% for Rob Astorino. But nearly a third of the Republican voters said they were still undecided, suggesting the race remains well up for grabs.
Among 1,002 likely democratic primary voters, Hochul garners 54% support — against 18% for Rep. Tom Suozzi and 11% for NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams. Another 17% remain undecided.
