Hochul And Blakeman React To Polls Showing Double-Digit Lead In New York Governor's Race
8 hours ago
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman are responding to new polling showing the Democratic incumbent holding a double-digit lead just days before the November 3 election.
The latest surveys suggest Hochul remains the frontrunner as both candidates make their final appeals to voters in one of the state's most closely watched political contests.
Hochul, who is seeking another term as governor, is campaigning on her administration's record and her plans for New York's future.
Blakeman, the Nassau County executive, is seeking to unseat Hochul and return the governor's office to Republican control.
The race has featured competing arguments over affordability, public safety, taxes and the direction of state government.
Blakeman has made concerns about the cost of living and crime central to his campaign, while Hochul has emphasized her administration's efforts to address affordability and public safety.
Despite the polling advantage for Hochul, the race remains undecided, and both campaigns are working to turn out supporters before Election Day.
New York voters will choose their next governor on Tuesday, November 3.
