As voters try to convince New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to primary Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, his popularity among his electorate continues to decline, taking the first major hit after he directed Democrats to vote for Republicans' spending package. By contrast, another divisive figure in New York politics, Gov. Kathy Hochul, is seeing a net positive in her polling for the first time in a year.
The new trends come from a Siena College poll conducted April 14-16 among 802 New York state registered voters. It has an overall margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
