Kathy HochulD46%
New York is a heavily Democratic state where Republicans have not won statewide office since 2002. While Hochul faces moderate approval ratings and voter dissatisfaction with the state's direction, the state's strong Democratic lean makes a Republican flip unlikely in 2026, though the race could be more competitive than typical for the state.

Charles Ellis Schumer
Lean D
Schumer's 2028 reelection race is primarily a Democratic intraparty battle. While his approval ratings have collapsed (27-39% in New York), the state's strong Democratic lean means any Democratic nominee would likely prevail in the general election. The real threat comes from a potential primary challenge by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, which could reshape Senate Democratic leadership dynamics if she wins.
