ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A week after the 2005 elections, a new statewide poll showed Democrats in strong shape headed into the 2006 elections.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer hold huge leads over potential rivals in their respective races for Senate and governor, according to the poll released Monday by Siena College's Research Institute.
The biggest prize last week — New York City mayor — went to the GOP as Michael Bloomberg was re-elected, the fourth straight mayoral election won by Republicans in the heavily Democratic city. But elsewhere in the state, Democrats made significant gains in traditionally Republican strongholds.
