According to recent polling data from Siena College, Former President Donald Trump is just 8% back on President Biden in deep blue New York. The Don is currently experiencing a surge in support from Black and Jewish voters.
The last Republican to win New York was Ronald Reagan in the 1984 election during his successful bid for re-election. Reagan carried New York with 53.84% of the vote against his Democratic opponent, Walter Mondale.
From The New York Post:
If the election were held today, Biden would receive 47% of the vote to 39% for Trump, Siena College found in a survey of 805 registered voters.
The poll’s margin of error — 4.1% — means the race could be even closer.
“We are going to win New York!” the presumptive Republican nominee, 78, claimed at a May 23 South Bronx rally, where he courted black and Hispanic voters by arguing they were being badly impacted by record illegal immigration under Biden, as well as by economic issues such as high inflation.
The Siena survey found that Trump is supported by 29% of black New Yorkers and 26% of Latino residents ahead of his Nov. 5 rematch against 81-year-old Biden.
In 2020, Trump — who at the time also claimed he was on the cusp of winning New York — was supported by just 6% of black New Yorkers and 22% of Hispanics, according to exit polling.
