One of America’s most Democratic states is experiencing a dramatic shift to the right for the first time in decades.
A new poll has found New York could be competitive for Republicans as candidates eye challenging unpopular Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul who is running for reelection in 2026.
A GrayHouse poll found that just 36 percent approve of New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s performance and 55 percent disapprove.
‘Kathy Hochul’s numbers have imploded,’ a New York Republican political operative told the Daily Mail, pointing to the devastating approval numbers for her in a state that is primarily comprised of Democrats.
Even President Trump has a higher approval rating than Hochul in the heavily Democratic state – with 43 percent approving and 56 percent disapproving.
The poll of 826 registered voters in New York was conducted between April 22 and 28 with a 4 point margin of error.
Political consultants were dazzled by President Donald Trump‘s increased voter share in New York in the 2024 election, and are excited by indications that the rightward realignment can continue.
