President Biden's lead over former President Trump in New York has fallen to single digits, according to a Wednesday poll from Sienna College.
Biden maintains a lead over Trump with 47% of the vote, compared to the former president's 38%. This is a slight narrowing of the gap since last month, when Biden led Trump 47%-37%.
New York voters, however, remain deeply polarized over the two candidates, with 32% of voters saying a Biden victory will “irreparably harm America,” and 41% saying the same about a Trump victory.
Only 18% of voters, including between 16% and 19% of Democrats, Republicans and Independents, say they are confident that America will survive and prosper regardless of the outcome, the poll also found.

Sienna conducted the poll from May 13 to 15 and surveyed 1,191 registered voters in New York. The study advertises a margin of error of 3.9%.
The poll comes as Trump has been on trial in Manhattan for about a month and has been making statements to the press outside the courtroom almost daily. Trump has vowed to win the Empire State, as well as his cause.
Polls indicate a deadlocked race with six months until Election Day
“The criminal justice system is on trial in New York,” Trump said Monday morning. “I love this state. I love the people of the state. I run in New York.”
'I think so New York is going to win,” he added.

Trump leads Biden among registered voters 49%-42% in Arizona, 49%-39% in Georgia, 49%-42% in Michigan, 50%-38% in Nevada, and trails the president 47%-44% in Pennsylvania, with Biden narrowly on top in Wisconsin 47%-45%, according to the poll.
The survey findings were similar when third-party and independent candidates were added to the mix, including the Democratic-turned-independent White House contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
