Governor Kathy Hochul’s lead over Bruce Blakeman is shrinking, but she still edges ahead in key areas like affordability and safety — especially with independents. While Blakeman gains ground with Republicans and suburban voters and is seen as tougher and more honest, Hochul maintains stronger favorability and job approval ratings.

Meanwhile, other statewide races show Democratic dominance, with Letitia James and Tom DiNapoli both leading comfortably.
