“Lee Zeldin has 10 weeks to get Gov. Hochul under 50% and the issues voters identify as most concerning to them are on his side,” GOP political consultant Bill O’Reilly told The Post. “Mrs. Hochul’s financial advantage is growing though, and that’s got to be worrisome to the Zeldin campaign.”
Zeldin leads his Democratic rival by 69 points among Republicans and 36 points among conservatives while Hochul led in every other demographic group, according to the poll.
Political independents split their support 46% to 31% in favor of the governor, while self-described moderates broke for her by 49% to 30%.
The two candidates are nearly even among households with guns, with Hochul getting 41% support in that demographic compared to 40% for Zeldin.
Zeldin has campaigned hard on economic and criminal justice issues like opposing bail reform while Hochul has focused on abortion rights, gun control and the Republican’s votes against certifying the 2020 presidential election results from certain states.
