This is New York after all, so I can’t say I’m confident this lead will hold. But if by some miracle Mike Henry beats anti-Trump zealot and communist Letitia James it would be a political earthquake. The same Trafalgar poll shows Lee Zeldin within just two points of crazy Kathy Hochul. Again, I’m skeptical because this is New York, but damn it would be awesome to see these communists thrown out.
In this most recent poll, conducted September 30-October 3 with 1,087 likely general election voters, Henry similarly leads by 1 percentage point, with 45.4 percent to James’ 44.4 percent. There’s still 10.2 percent of respondents who are undecided, but that’s an improvement from the last poll, when 12.8 percent were undecided.
The lead is within the margin of error, which is at 2.9 percentage points. That being said, a Republican leading at all against a Democratic incumbent is certainly newsworthy.
James also made news last month for announcing a civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, as well as his adult children, Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka, and senior Trump organization executives. The attorney general is alleging “intentional and deliberate fraud.”
Trump communicated at length about the lawsuit over his Truth Social platform.
🚨NEW POLL🚨
A second @trafalgar_group poll shows me in the lead in my race to replace Letitia James!
