Harris leading Trump by 19 points in New York state survey
Vice President Harris has a double-digit edge over former President Trump in the state of New York, according to a new survey.
The poll, released Tuesday by Siena College, shows Harris with a 19-point lead over the former president, 58 percent to 39 percent, among likely voters in the Empire State. Her lead marks a 6-point increase from September.
When other candidates were added, the vice president maintains a 17-point lead over Trump, 54 percent to 37 percent, according to the latest survey.
When broken down by issue, the state's likely voters trusted Harris more on the issues of democracy, 58 percent to 38 percent, and abortion, 64 percent to 31 percent. The respondents also said the vice president would handle immigration better than her Republican counterpart, 50 percent to 46 percent, the poll found.
On the economy, a top issue ahead of November, she bested Trump with 52 percent support to 46 percent, the data shows.
The former president did have a razor-thin lead among independent voters in New York, garnering 47 percent support to Harris's 46 percent.
In terms of favorability, the Democratic nominee garnered 54 percent favorability, compared to 43 percent who said she was unfavorable. Respondents rated Trump as 38 percent favorable to 60 percent unfavorable, according to the survey.
President Biden won New York in 2020 by nearly 2 million votes against Trump. Former President Reagan was the last Republican candidate to win the state, in 1984.
With the election less than two weeks away, Harris currently leads Trump 48.6 percent to 47.7 percent in the state, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s aggregate of polls.
The Siena College poll was conducted Oct. 13-17 among 872 likely voters in New York. The margin of error is 4.2 percentage points.
