Poll finds New York voters evenly split on Hochul’s job performance

The biggest race in this election is for New York governor. Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul faces off against Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin. The two candidates both took swings at each other last month in their only debate in a tight governor’s race.

According to the results, 31% of people said they strongly disapprove. Another 31% said they somewhat approve, 20% said strongly approve and 15% somewhat disapprove. The other 2% were not sure.

The poll has a margin of error of +/- 4.7 percentage points
