A new poll released on Tuesday shows that for the first time, more New York voters view Governor Kathy Hochul unfavorably than view her favorably.
The Siena College poll found that 45 percent of registered voters surveyed viewed her unfavorably while 40 percent viewed her favorably. That’s down from 43-43 percent in March. Hochul’s job approval rating also slid to 50-44 percent from 52-41 percent in March. The polls show that a strong majority thinks the Western New York Democrat is hardworking, 58-20% and a plurality of voters says she is honest, 44-32%, and not corrupt, 47-26%.
However, voters are evenly divided on whether Hochul is effective, 39-39%, or a strong leader, 40-40%.
