Today, FOX 5 NY covered our latest 5 Borough Barometer data release on how New York City voters view ICE raids and local cooperation.
With immigration enforcement in the headlines nationally, NYC voters are sending a clear signal: they’re broadly opposed to ICE raids here - and they want local law enforcement to keep their distance.
Key findings:
• 67% oppose ICE raids being conducted in NYC (32% support)
• 55% say ICE should stop raids entirely in the city
• 52% say the NYPD should not assist ICE under NYC’s sanctuary restrictions
• 66% say raids create fear and chaos in immigrant communities
Methodology: 848 likely NYC general election voters, text-to-web, Dec. 4–12, 2025. Independently conducted by Honan Strategy Group (not commissioned by any campaign or advocacy group).

🚨 NEW VIDEO ANALYSIS
“The Illusion of Strength – Kathy Hochul’s Polling Reality”
Governor Kathy Hochul’s recent poll numbers from Siena College appear to show improvement—but a deeper dive tells a different story.
✔️ Favorability barely above water at 44% to 43%
✔️ Job approval modest at 48% to 45%
✔️ Re-election outlook bleak—just 39% want to re-elect her, while 48% prefer someone else.
The data reveals what many miss: incremental progress without a stable political base. Democrats are lukewarm, Republicans are united in opposition, and independents are still out of reach. She’s making marginal gains across the board—but has locked in no core constituency.
Even her policy wins—like a smartphone ban in schools—are undermined by a lack of public support for her political tactics, such as delaying the state budget.
With 2026 on the horizon, Democrats must face a critical question:
Is Kathy Hochul the strongest candidate to lead New York—and help protect congressional control in a high-stakes election?
