Forty-eight percent of New York voters say they support President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race and 41% say they support former President Donald Trump, according to a new survey by Emerson College Polling/The Hill/PIX11.
The remainder said they were undecided.
The poll was conducted May 28-29 just before Trump was found guilty of 34 counts in his New York criminal trial.
Poll results, released Thursday:
- 55% say they favor Biden and 45% support Trump when the undecided voters were asked which candidate they favor.
- 44% say they support Biden and 38% say they favor Trump with third-party candidates on the ballot; 6%t say they back Robert Kennedy Jr., 2% support Cornel West and 1% back Jill Stein. The remainder said they are undecided.
"Independent voters in New York who traditionally vote for Democrats, according to exit polling, have flipped to lean toward Trump by a margin of 10 points, 43% to 33%," said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.
The poll surveyed 1,000 registered New York voters. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.
