Additionally, only 36% of voters would prefer to re-elect her, with 55% desiring a new leader. The poll highlights divisions within the Democratic Party on the issue of transgender athletes in school sports, showing varying opinions among respondents.
Only 44% of New Yorkers view Hochul favorably compared with 46% who view her unfavorably - giving her an underwater -2% favorability rating.
Only 36% said they would give the governor a second full term compared with 55% who said they wanted a new leader for the Empire State.
Democrats are closely divided on the question of transgender girls playing on girls school sports teams - 32% want it banned in all districts and 31% want it allowed in all districts.
After hitting year-long highs in both Hochul's favorability and job approval ratings last month, those numbers largely held constant this month.
