""Should Congresswoman Elise Stefanik choose to enter the race for governor, she would begin the Republican primary in a dominant position and offer the GOP its strongest opportunity to defeat Governor Kathy Hochul in the 2026 general election.""
""Stefanik is better known and liked among Republican voters, with 56% having a favorable view of her and 9% unfavorable, or plus 47 percentage points.""
Rep. Elise Stefanik stands as a strong front-runner for the Republican nomination for governor of New York in the upcoming primary, according to a recent poll. Garnering 44% support among Republicans, she significantly outpaces her competitors, Mike Lawler and Bruce Blakeman, who received only 7% and 5%, respectively. Stefanik's popularity and favorable ratings among Republican voters position her as a formidable candidate against Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul in the 2026 general election. The poll indicates that a substantial number of voters remain undecided, suggesting further dynamic shifts leading up to the election.
