LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. (WKBW) — A new poll from Siena College shows that Joe Biden leads President Trump by 29 points in New York state.

Biden has a 62-33 favorability rating and Trump has a negative 29-66 percent favorability rating, according to the poll.

“New Yorkers, who have not given their support to a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan won re-election in 1984, appear poised to provide Biden with New York’s 29 Electoral College votes in less than five weeks,” said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg. “Biden holds a commanding 87-7 percent lead among Democrats and a 14-point lead with independents. Trump holds Republicans, 67-27 percent, but not nearly as well as Biden holds Democrats. Biden leads by 60 points in New York City, 20 points upstate and 14 points in the downstate suburbs."
