Steven Greenberg, pollster with the Siena College research institute, joined Power & Politics on Thursday, discussing their latest poll.
He discussed a variety of issues where voters weighed in.
Governor Hochul's favorability remained at her highest levels in more than a year, right around 44-46 percent, which Greenberg said was "disappointing", in a blue state like New York.
At the same time, he discussed the 2026 gubernatorial election, where 46 percent of voters said they would support Hochul as opposed to Antonio Delgado (12 percent) or Ritchie Torres (10 percent).
In recent weeks, Upstate Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has expressed an interest in running as the Republican nominee for Governor in 2026, with this Siena poll finding 35 percent of Republicans saying they would vote for her.
Last month, before Stefanik declared interest, 22 percent of Republicans said they'd vote for Rep. Mike Lawler, which remained the same this month.
28 percent of Republicans said they'd vote for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman last month, this month, 11 percent said they'd vote for Blakeman.
