Who Do NY Voters Favor For Hillary Clintons Senate Seat?
A new Public Policy Polling survey suggests that Caroline Kennedy has the inside track with New York state voters to replace Hillary Clinton in the US Senate: “44% say she’s their top choice, with another 24% saying she’s their second choice from a list of potential candidates. The only other potential appointee to break double figures is Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who was the top pick for 23% of respondents and the second with 35%. The other six candidates polled, including four members of Congress and two prominent local government officials, were the favored choice with anywhere from 3 to 6% of those surveyed.” But a just released Marist poll would appear to contradict these numbers, indicating a tie between Cuomo and Kennedy–25% to 25%–with 26% undecided and another 24% going to other candidates.
