Hochul may get close to 60%, especially with 3rd parties de facto kicked off the ballot.

It's so strange to me how even in these safe races, you have 17% of Republicans saying they're "undecided", even with Zeldin, who while not "moderate" by any means, isn't some crazy extremist. What are they undecided about?

Should also be noted that in the tighter screen of "Certain to Vote", Hochul leads by 25%, 58-33.

This is a more realistic poll. I think its very likely Hochul gets to 60 or close to it. The big question is does she go over that number?

Remember when all the ratings sites said this was only Likely D? 😂

I never thought the Democratic nominee would lose the general election (unless it was Cuomo). But I did think Hochul was vulnerable in a primary, for the same reason Kirsten Gillibrand was hypothetically vulnerable in 2010.

Great poll, let's goooo Queen! I think Hochul is a candidate with wide appeal, being in the middle of the Democratic spectrum and personally likeable/not offensive. Zeldin, who voted to reject the 2020 election, is way out of touch with a state such as New York.

There's a real chance Hochul breaks 60% here. I'm really curious to see whether she improves in Upstate compared to Cuomo 2014 and 2018.

I saw "Hochul +2" in the preview and nearly had a heart attack. Sounds about right.

She may break 60% with the way things have turned lately...
