BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A new Siena Poll shows more New Yorkers are supporting Governor Hochul.
The poll shows Gov. Hochul's favorability rating is now 45-42% which is the highest it's been since January 2024.
A majority of voters say they believe the governor works hard, is honest, and cares about New Yorkers.
As we approach next year's gubernatorial race, the poll shows Hochul has a 25% lead over her likely republican challenger Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
About 75% of New York democrats support Hochul, but only 37% of all voters say they want to elect her.
This all comes just a day after Governor Hochul endorsed Zohran Mamdani in the New York City Mayor's race.
