NEW POLL: KATKO UP BY 8 HEADING INTO EARLY VOTING

Syracuse, New York – Katko for Congress today released a new poll, showing Congressman John Katko leading Dana Balter by 8 points heading into early voting, which begins this Saturday, October 24.

The poll, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, surveyed 400 voters in New York’s 24th Congressional District from October 15-18, 2020. It found Katko leading Balter 47%-39%, with 3% of voters choosing Working Families Party Candidate Steve Williams.

“It’s clear that Central New Yorkers are rejecting Dana Balter’s support of extreme-left policies like bail reform and government run healthcare, and know that John Katko will continue to be a strong voice in Washington to lead our recovery and get our economy back on the right track,” said Tom Haag, Katko for Congress Campaign Manager.
