\n52% of voters polled say Hochul has a more collaborative approach to government leadership than her predecessor, and 74% say it\u2019s exciting to have New York\u2019s first woman governor. Strong majorities of voters think Hochul will be successful in ensuring a safe transition to in-person public education, leading the state through natural disasters and controlling the spread of COVID.<\/p>\n
