纽约州总检察长利蒂希娅·詹姆斯是总统唐纳德·特朗普的主要对手，如今她的支持率正在落后于共和党挑战者，尽管大多数纽约人仍然对她的对手知之甚少。
锡耶纳大学最新公布的民调显示，詹姆斯与共和党挑战者萨里塔·科马蒂雷迪之间的领先优势在8月至9月间缩小了5个百分点。尽管这位民主党人的领先优势正在收窄，但仍占据明显优势：詹姆斯以52%比39%的差距领先科马蒂雷迪。
共和党在全国范围内的多个关键选区民调表现不佳，包括阿拉斯加、德克萨斯州和俄亥俄州等传统倾向共和党的州的竞争性竞选。在此背景下，锡耶纳民调中共和党在纽约州的支持率基本持平或小幅提升，算是相对亮点。

锡耶纳最新民调显示，纽约州长竞选的差距在个位数以内，共和党候选人、拿骚县行政长官布鲁斯·布莱克曼落后在任民主党州长凯西·霍楚尔，支持率为41%比50%。这9个百分点的差距与8月相比变化不大，当时霍楚尔以49%比39%领先。
锡耶纳9月民调的误差幅度约为4个百分点，这意味着詹姆斯领先优势缩小5个百分点的结果需要谨慎解读，不能作为选情转变的确凿证据。

科马蒂雷迪曾担任联邦检察官，毕业于哈佛法学院，曾在美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院为时任法官布雷特·卡瓦诺担任书记员。
距离选举日还有一个多月，三分之二的纽约潜在选民表示，他们要么不知道科马蒂雷迪是谁，要么没有掌握足够信息来对她形成看法。
这位共和党人的知名度较低，说明她的竞选活动尚未让选民广泛了解她。不过，这也可能意味着她有扩大支持率的空间。

詹姆斯与特朗普长期以来既是政治对手也是法律对手，詹姆斯的办公室提起了民事欺诈诉讼，法官下令特朗普及其公司支付数亿美元罚款，后来州上诉法院撤销了这笔罚款，但保留了欺诈认定结果。
2022年共和党人险些拿下这个“帝国之州”的州长职位，仅以47%比53%的差距落败，此后共和党领导人将赢得纽约州视为给民主党带来重大心理打击的契机。

Letitia James’ re-election cushion shrinks as little-known challenger starts turning heads

New York Attorney General Letitia James, a top rival of President Donald Trump, is losing ground to her Republican challenger even though most New Yorkers still know little about who she is running against.
James’ lead over GOP challenger Saritha Komatireddy fell by five points between August and September, according to a newly released poll from Siena University. Though the Democrat’s lead is slipping, it’s still commanding, with James leading Komatireddy by a margin of 52% to 39%.
Republicans nationally are facing difficult polling in several key races, including competitive contests in traditionally Republican-leaning states such as Alaska, Texas and Ohio. Against that backdrop, New York Republicans holding roughly steady or improving modestly in Siena’s polling represents a relative bright spot.

The New York governor’s race is within single digits, with Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, the GOP nominee, trailing incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul 50% to 41%, according to Siena’s latest poll. The nine-point margin is little changed from August, when Hochul led 49% to 39%.
The margin of error in Siena’s September poll is about four percentage points, meaning the five-point narrowing in James’ lead should be interpreted cautiously rather than as definitive evidence of a shift in the race.

Komatireddy is a former federal prosecutor and Harvard Law graduate who clerked for then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
With a little more than a month until Election Day, two-thirds of likely New York voters say they either don’t know who Komatireddy is or don’t possess enough information about her to have an opinion.
The Republican’s low name recognition shows that her campaign has yet to make her widely known to voters with Election Day approaching. It could also, however, signal that she has room to grow her support.

James and Trump have been longtime political and legal adversaries, with James’ office bringing a civil fraud case that led to a judge ordering Trump and his companies to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines before a state appeals court later vacated the monetary award while leaving the fraud findings in place.
After Republicans came uncharacteristically close to winning the Empire State’s governor’s mansion in 2022, losing by a margin of 53% to 47%, GOP leaders have seen winning the state as a way to strike a massive psychological blow against the Democratic Party.
