Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul maintained a robust 17-point lead over her Republican challenger Rep. Lee Zeldin in the race for governor, according to aHochul inched up one percentage point since August, with 54% of voters polled supporting her. She now leads in the downstate suburbs, after falling behind in August.
With a little over a month until elections, the top three issues motivating prospective voters of either party were: economic issues, “threats to democracy” and crime, the poll found. It did not define "threats to democracy," but left it open to voters' interpretation. Speaking to reporters Wednesday in Albany, Hochul touted the steps her administration has taken ahead of the economic downturn, including setting more money aside in the state’s reserves and sending property-tax relief checks to New Yorkers as part of this year’s state budget.
While the poll showed Hochul with a strong lead overall – due in large part to her support from 81% of likely Democratic voters – it also showed her trailing Zeldin among independent voters, 42% to 45%.
