Anti-Israel ‘Squad’ Rep. Jamaal Bowman trails rival George Latimer by 17 points
Among Democrats who voted in at least three of the last four primaries, Latimer’s lead grows to 21 percentage points — 56% to 35%, according to the survey conducted by veteran Democratic pollster Mark Mellman for the pro-Latimer Democratic Majority for Israel. Among Democrats who say they know both Latimer and Bowman — 76% of the primary electorate— Latimer’s lead expands even further to 26 points (60% to 34%). A major problem for Bowman is that Latimer has a far better image among voters than the incumbent, who has been damaged by his self-inflicted actions and rhetoric. The job performance of Latimer, 70, who has held various offices in Westchester since the late 1980s, is viewed positively by 68% of Democrats in the district while only 18% view him negatively. "Latimer does 32 points better on the positive side, while Bowman’s negatives are a massive 37 points higher than Latimer’s," Mellman said. "Very few unindicted elected officials receive such strongly negative ratings from their co-partisans." Bowman, 48, pleaded guilty last year to one misdemeanor count of falsely pulling a fire alarm in the Cannon House Office Building to delay a vote to avert a partial government shutdown. .
