Trump leads Biden on immigration, economy, Second Amendment: Fox News poll
Fox News senior White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich takes a look inside Fox News' latest survey on the presidential race and key issues on 'Special Report.'
It's been 40 years since a Republican carried New York state in a presidential election.
President Ronald Reagan was the last GOP standard-bearer to do it – as he won the state by eight points in his 1984 landslide White House re-election.
But a new poll suggests that former President Trump is down by only single digits to President Biden in New York – a state Biden carried by 23 points four years ago in his White House election victory over Trump.

The Democratic incumbent in the White House leads his Republican predecessor 47%-39% among registered voters in New York State questioned in a Siena College poll that was released on Thursday.

"While Biden maintains the support of three-quarters of Democrats, Trump has support from 85% of Republicans and leads Biden 45-28% with independents," Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg said.

"A gender gap has reopened as men support Trump 46-42% and women favor Biden 51-33%. White voters are evenly divided. And while Biden has a commanding lead with non-White voters, Trump garners support from 29% of Black and 26% of Latino voters," Greenberg added.

Biden's approval rating as president stands at 45%-53% in the survey. And his favorability rating – at 42% favorable and 53% unfavorable – is the lowest ever among New Yorkers in Siena College polling.
Trump's favorability rating is even lower among voters in his native state. The former president stands at 37% favorable and 59% unfavorable.
The Siena College poll was conducted June 12-17, with 805 registered voters in New York state questioned. The overall sampling error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.
