Gov. Kathy Hochul favorability falls to 'worst-ever' rating after bruising 2023 start
[NYPOST] Gov. Kathy Hochul’s favorability fell to its "worst-ever" rating after a tough to start to 2023 that included a late budget — and New Yorkers are of mixed minds when it comes to whether she is a "strong" or "effective" leader, according to a new Siena College poll.They voted for her, they'll vote for her again. They deserve her. "While voters think that the recently passed budget and many of its specifics will be good for New York, at the same time they also give Hochul her worst-ever favorability rating — the first time it’s been underwater," Siena pollster Steven Greenberg said. According to the May poll of 810 registered voters, 45% of New Yorkers have an unfavorable opinion of Hochul compared to 40% who view her favorably, a notable change from a month ago when respondents were evenly split at 43%. Voters were also evenly split about whether Hochul is a "strong" leader, with 40% saying she is and the same amount declaring she is not. Forty-nine percent of those polled believe Hochul is "out of touch" with average New Yorkers, compared to just 31% who chose she "is not out of touch." The findings come after a bruising few months for the newly-elected Hochul, which included a late budget and the historical rejection of her pick to lead New York’s top court.
