“By a 54-29 percent margin, New York State voters support the Governor and Legislature allowing New York City to raise personal income taxes on City residents earning at least $1 million. New York City voters, 62-21 percent, and Democrats, 72-13 percent, overwhelmingly support it. The proposal from Mayor Zohran Mamdani has more tepid support from the downstate suburbs, 50-32 percent, and upstate, 48-35 percent, while independents lean toward opposition, 40-37 percent, and Republicans oppose 51-36 percent, according to a new Siena Poll of New York State registered voters released today. Governor Kathy Hochul – whose favorability rating dropped a few points but narrowly remains in positive territory – continues to lead Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, still largely unknown to voters statewide, by 20 points, 51-31 percent, from 26 points, 54-28 percent, in January. On six quotes read to voters without attribution – three Hochul quotes and three Blakeman quotes – voters, by wide, bipartisan majorities agree with each of them” – Siena polling.
