Democratic incumbent Hillary Rodham Clinton continues to sport a hefty lead over potential 2006 Senate race Republican challenger Jeanine Pirro, a statewide poll reported Wednesday.
The Siena College Research Institute Poll had the former first lady leading the Westchester County district attorney, 57 percent to 31 percent. A June poll from the Albany-area institute had Clinton leading Pirro, 59 percent to 29 percent.
Sixty percent of voters surveyed by Siena for the new poll said Clinton should be re-elected and 60 percent said they have a favorable opinion of her. National polls have her as the front-runner for the party's 2008 presidential nomination.
The less well-known Pirro's favorable rating was 27 percent, with 61 percent of voters saying they didn't have an opinion about her.
