“First time in the University of Siena poll: Schumer has 10 points underwater, with multiple voters looking at him at a disadvantage,” Siena University poller Stephen Greenberg wrote in a press release. “He continues to be seen at a disadvantage by more than two-thirds of Republicans and the majority of independents, but Schumer has dramatically defeated Democrats, especially the liberals. Preferential, 47-44%.”
Additionally, 48% of New York’s voters said they have approved the work Hochul is doing as governor, starting from 46% in March.
“For the first time since January 2024, Hochul has a positive, barely positive rating. For the first time since February 2024, we are endorsing the work that multiple voters are doing as governor,” Greenberg wrote.

“Of the eight elected officials and each House of Representatives in the state legislature, the AOC has the highest favourable rating,” Greenberg further wrote. “She is seen favorably by 64% of Democrats (more than Hochul and Schumer) and disadvantageously by 60% of Republicans. Independents are split evenly between 39-39%.
