Historical governor polling added September 23
Two independent, non-campaign polls of likely New York voters reported different margins in the Hochul–Blakeman race. Siena found Kathy Hochul at 50% and Bruce Blakeman at 41% among 1,144 likely voters surveyed September 11–17; the core sample margin of error was ±3.9 percentage points. Quinnipiac found Hochul at 58% and Blakeman at 39% among 1,026 likely voters surveyed September 17–20; its margin of error was ±4.1 points. Neither result is a vote count, and the difference between the polls is a reason to preserve their field dates and methods rather than merge them into a single claim.

Why local details matter
Your congressional district, polling place and early-voting locations are different pieces of information. An interactive national map is a research aid, not confirmation of voter registration or an assigned polling place. Use election officials for voting arrangements.
Polling and results are different
A poll estimates opinion among a sample during specified field dates. It does not count ballots. This guide links to original poll releases and distinguishes campaign-sponsored research from official election information.
