Hochul Holds Narrow Edge as Blakeman Remains Largely Unknown in Siena Poll
Governor Kathy Hochul leads Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman 47-34 in Siena’s March poll, a smaller margin than February’s 51-31; Hochul’s favorability (45-42) and job approval (52-40) are largely unchanged, while Blakeman remains largely unknown (64% have not heard of him). The survey also shows bipartisan support for two-year legislative terms, easier access to pepper spray, a majority supporting congressional approval to wage war and voting-ID requirements, and steady presidential ratings with Letitia James winning broad, though not overwhelming, re-election support.
