And, according to this Marist Poll of New York State voters, Schumer is the odds-on favorite to win re-election. He receives the support of 63% of the state’s likely voters including early voters and those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate while Townsend has 35%. One percent plans to vote for someone else, and 1% is undecided. Schumer has widened his lead. When Marist last asked about this race in September, 59% of likely voters including those who were undecided yet leaning toward a candidate backed Schumer, 38% supported Townsend, and 3% were undecided. Among likely voters not including those who were leaning toward a candidate, Schumer received 58% to 37% for Townsend. 5% were undecided. “While many Democratic U.S. Senators are fighting for their political lives elsewhere, that’s not so for Senators Schumer and Gillibrand in New York,” says Dr. Lee M.Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “Both lead their GOP challengers.” Among likely voters including early voters and those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate, there is a partisan divide.
