Politico reported on this recent NY poll by Data for Progress: https://www.politico.com/newsletters/new-york-playbook/2026/06/08/the-two-most-popular-men-in-new-york-00953139
The poll found that Bernie Sanders (+15) and Pete Buttigieg (+13) have the highest net favorability in the state of New York.
They were followed by Josh Shapiro (+9), Zohran Mamdani (+7), Kirsten Gillibrand (+5), AOC (+3), Kathy Hochul (+1), Kamala Harris (-2), Gavin Newsom (-3), Hakeem Jeffries (-4), Chuck Schumer (-15), and Donald Trump (-27).
A few politicians in this poll had less than 60% name recognition [Chris Van Hollen (+1), Ritchie Torres (0), Rahm Emanuel (-4)], so I didn't list them above.
