ERICA ORDEN
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo holds a commanding 35-point lead over his Republican challenger in this fall's general election, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC 4 New York/Marist pollthe first since the conclusion of the legislative session and the start of campaign season.
Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, leads Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino 59% to 24% among registered voters statewide, and third-party candidate Howie Hawkins receives 6%, the poll found; Mr. Astorino has virtually the same total as he did in March.
Perhaps most troubling for Mr. Astorino, the governor leads by significant margins even among voters who are theoretically part of the GOP candidate's basethose who believe the state needs major changes or is irreparably broken and those who cite taxes or economic development as the state's top priority.
"Those are the folks Astorino is trying to build his campaign around, and he's not getting even those core voters at this point," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. "When a challenger is running against an incumbent, looking for change is how you build your case."
