Watertown Daily Times WATERTOWN In a hypothetical race, Gov. Andrew Cuomo still comes out on top when compared to three other big names in New York politics, but he may have some reason to worry in his run for another gubernatorial term.
According to a poll from Zogby Analytics, a Utica-based polling company, Rep. Elise Stefanik would do the best in a speculative race against the governor, although she likely wouldn’t win. Results show 49% of voters would prefer Gov. Cuomo, to 37% who would support Stefanik, R-Schuylerville. That’s higher than any other potential candidates floated in the survey. Against Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James, 65% of respondents preferred Cuomo to 22% who preferred James, with 13% unsure.
