The New York Post featured GrayHouse polling today in front-page coverage of the 2026 gubernatorial race, highlighting our findings that Gov. Kathy Hochul holds just a 5-point lead over Rep. Elise Stefanik—and trails when voters learn about key issues like her endorsement of NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.


The story by Josh Christenson and Victor Nava reports on our survey of 1,250 likely 2026 midterm voters showing Stefanik closing the gap from an initial 48%-43% deficit to actually leading 46.4%-45.9% on an informed ballot. The piece also highlights Hochul's underwater job performance rating (56% disapprove) and the fact that 59% of voters say it's time for someone new.


Why this matters: The Post's massive New York readership makes it essential real estate for shaping perceptions of the race. GrayHouse founder Landon Wall is quoted extensively throughout the piece, reinforcing our reputation for actionable intelligence that moves the political conversation.


The coverage emphasizes our key finding: "Kathy Hochul's coalition is historically fragile," with particularly soft support among independents—the demographic that will likely decide this race.
