Where NYC flipped blue for Hochul

Gov. Kathy Hochul is riding high after beating her Republican challenger on Election Day — and The City Reporter’s new in-depth analysis of the election results shows why.

The governor gained votes in 92% of New York City neighborhoods compared with her 2022 election, when she defeated Lee Zeldin by a ratio of more than 2-to-1 in the city. This year, according to unofficial election returns, she beat Bruce Blakeman in the city by a ratio of more than 3-to-1.

Hochul’s biggest advance was in South Williamsburg, where she gained 45 points relative to 2022. Other neighborhoods that swung in her direction were Borough Park, Bronx Park, Queensboro Hill and Sunset Park.

The several neighborhoods where she lost ground were almost entirely in Manhattan. Hochul dropped seven points in Carnegie Hill, the most of any neighborhood, followed by five points in Tribeca. But the vast majority of these neighborhoods that inched rightward still turned out overwhelmingly for Hochul.

Ultimately, about 2 million New York City residents cast ballots in the gubernatorial election, around 218,000 more than four years ago.
