Governor Hochul's revival of congestion pricing amidst potential backlash not only misreads voter sentiment but risks further alienating Democratic constituents as well.
Polling shows that 59% of New York voters want to scrap congestion pricing entirely, highlighting a significant disconnect between Hochul's proposals and public opinion.
Despite a strategic pause on congestion pricing that seemingly helped Democrats, Hochul's job approval remains low at 39%, indicating persistent voter dissatisfaction with her administration.
Implementing the toll again could dangerously harm Democrats' image in New York, further complicating their political standing ahead of upcoming elections.
