Hochul’s Lead Shrinks as Election Nears | Wilmington News

New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s lead over Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman has shrunk to ten points, according to a new Siena poll — but the race is tightening as Election Day nears. While Hochul still leads in key areas like affordability and housing, Blakeman edges ahead on public safety and immigration, especially with independents. Though Hochul dominates in NYC, Blakeman holds ground in the suburbs and they’re neck-and-neck upstate. The governor’s team counters with her record on public safety and tax relief, while Blakeman pushes back, citing policy missteps and framing the race as a choice between her and Trump-aligned leadership. DSA favorability remains low overall — though Democrats see them more positively. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
