The Siena College Research Institute telephone poll of 622 registered New York state voters was conducted March 19-22 and has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points. The Democratic sample of 277 voters had a sampling error margin of plus or minus 6 percentage points while the Republican sample of 180 voters had a sampling error margin of plus or minus 7 percent.
OF INTEREST: A January poll from Siena had Clinton the favorite of 58 percent of Democratic voters in New York, but that poll did not include former Vice President Al Gore. Gore's inclusion in the latest poll took support largely away from Clinton.
New York voters do have a fairly high opinion of their favorite daughter and favorite son. Clinton, the state's junior senator, is viewed favorably by 56 percent of voters and unfavorably by 37 percent. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, is viewed favorably by 60 percent and unfavorably by 33 percent.
