Rep. John Katko holds a significant lead against his Democratic opponent and is actually outperforming Hillary Clinton in his New York House race, according to a new poll.
The poll from Siena College/Time Warner Cable News surveyed 655 likely voters in New York's 24th District with a margin of error 4.8 percentage points.
Katko holds a 19-point lead against Democrat Colleen Deacon. Furthermore, Katko has the support of 28 percent of Democrats in the district, compared to Deacon's 13 percent of Republicans in the district.
Clinton leads Republican Donald Trump by 12 points among district voters in the presidential race, the poll shows. But that's 4 points less than President Barack Obama's margin of victory in 2012.
Voters polled also support a number of Democratic issues, with 74 percent saying climate change is a real threat and 66 percent saying they support a path to citizenship for immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
But those polled also only narrowly support keeping Obamacare and 54 percent consider themselves supporters of the Second Amendment rather than supporters of gun control.
