How’s Kathy Hochul Doing With New Yorkers?

Poll Hub

Our latest poll of New Yorkers focuses on attitudes about new Governor Kathy Hochul who took office after Andrew Cuomo resigned. We’re discussing her approval rating, her leadership scores, and how she stacks up in a hypothetical Democratic primary next year. We also look at how Cuomo is faring after his self-inflicted fall from grace. Are voters even open to the idea of a comeback?

In the second segment, we’re joined by Daniel Cox from the American Enterprise Institute to discuss his new report on American public schools in the age of pandemic mandates and new culture war battles. His data highlights what Americans think should be taught and their fears when it comes to COVID-19 spreading in schools. Cox breaks it all down with the team and helps explain why these numbers matter.

Finally, this week’s fun fact is all about vegetarians. Grab a grain bowl and join us!

Daniel A. Cox is a Senior Fellow in Polling and Public Opinion at American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the director of the Survey Center on American Life. You can find him on Twitter at @dcoxpolls. Learn more about the report here: https://www.americansurveycenter.org/research/august-2021-aps/
