People keep asking me: can Republicans actually win statewide in New York?
Yes, and here's the math.
About 30% of the vote comes from New York City, 26% from the suburbs, and 44% from upstate. To win, our ticket needs roughly:
- 1 in 3 votes in the five boroughs
- 56% in the suburbs: Long Island, Westchester, Rockland
- 60% upstate
In 2022, Lee Zeldin got about 30% in the city, 53% in the suburbs and 55% upstate, and came within 6 points. We need about 3 more points statewide.
Where we are: the polls say we're behind. Don’t believe them. They said the same thing in 2022. In October 2022, Siena had Zeldin at 41% to Hochul's 52%. On Election Day, he beat that poll by 3 points.
