Poll Shows Brad Lander Leading Daniel Goldman in Democratic Primary

An Emerson College poll puts challenger Brad Lander roughly 30 points ahead of Rep. Daniel Goldman in New York’s Democratic primary. Goldman’s campaign disputes the survey’s assumptions about the likely electorate. Center outlets report the polling lead alongside the campaign’s objection to the survey. Right-leaning outlets also connect the lead to criticism of Goldman’s record, with opinion pieces presenting it as a sign of his vulnerability or a leftward shift in the party.
