Vice President Kamala Harris got plenty of good news from New York Tuesday. Not only were leading Democrats in the state happy with her choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, but a new Siena College poll also gave her a commanding lead over former President Donald Trump among state voters.
The poll, which was conducted from July 28 to Aug. 1 among 1,199 likely voters in New York, was the first time Siena College included Harris in the horserace against Trump. It shows Harris with a stronger lead than former candidate President Joe Biden had against Trump before he dropped out of the high-intensity race on July 21. Biden had only an eight-point edge on Trump in New York in a June poll.
