On a four-person ballot, state Assemblymember Micah Lasher has 28 percent support; Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg has 20 percent; Bores has 19 percent; and Trump critic and former Republican George Conway has 9 percent. (A handful of other candidates are set to appear on the ballot in June.) Twenty-three percent are undecided, “keeping the race competitive and the outcome unsettled,” according to the memo (https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000019e-237e-d83d-abbf-f77eaf910000) shared with Madison.
The poll was conducted from April 16-22 among 300 likely Democratic primary voters in the district. The margin of error is +/- 5.64 percentage points.
Public polling is scarce in the race, and internal polls from earlier this year didn’t show a clear frontrunner. Some had Schlossberg with a slight lead. This poll was conducted as the Stand for New York super PAC was spending heavily to boost Lasher.
The poll also found that 51 percent of respondents either strongly or somewhat prefer building a new MSG, park and station, while 31 percent somewhat or strongly prefer leaving MSG and making improvements underground and along 8th Avenue. Forty-eight percent of respondents prefer a “classical design” like Grand Central and 21 percent want a “modern design.”
Politico: POLL POSITION
A poll conducted last month by Honan Strategy Group for Grand Penn Community Alliance — a nonprofit (https://gothamist.com/news/gop-donor-pushes-traditional-redesign-for-penn-station-that-aligns-with-trumps-taste) proposing a rebuild of Penn Station with “Classical architecture inspired by the original Penn Station (https://www.grandpenn.org/)” and moving Madison Square Garden — has some relatively new numbers in the race for Rep. Jerry Nadler’s district, which includes Penn.

A decision on the redesign — which Trump is poised to weigh in on — is expected in the coming weeks (https://www.nydailynews.com/2026/04/25/penn-station-trump-msg-details-sweeping-redesign-byford-amtrak-lirr/).
