In the News: Unite NY Poll: Hochul Leads Lawler by Single Digits

Unite New York

The Daily Post reports that "A new poll from Unite NY and Citizen Data shows incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul leading GOP challenger Congressman Michael Lawler by just 8 percentage points (46% to 38%), despite the fact that Lawler has not declared a run for Governor."

The article goes on to discuss the other results from the poll, including overwhelming support for reforms such as Open Primaries, Term Limits for Statewide Officials, and Citizen Ballot Initiatives. Unite NY's Executive Director, Tim Dunn, stated “New Yorkers are clearly frustrated and want change. They are seeking elected officials who listen to them and voters want more of a say in the electoral process. This survey should serve as a warning and wake-up call to our leaders in Albany. There’s still time to shake up the status quo, but failing to meet the wants and needs could cost these politicians their jobs,”.
