    Siena College polls

    Siena College polled registered voters in New York on their support for holding a state constitutional convention. In 2015 and 2016, Siena College found that support for a constitutional convention among respondents was between 60 percent and 69 percent. This level of support continued in 2017, with Siena College's mid-May poll indicating that support was 62 percent. Support for holding a constitutional convention dropped 15 percentage points to 47 percent in Siena College's poll in mid-July. In a late August 2017 poll, support dropped further to 45 percent. In late September 2017, support decreased to 44 percent and opposition increased to 39 percent. In October 2017, polling showed support had dropped to 25 percent and opposition had risen to 57 percent.

    Between 2015 and May 2017, Siena College polled respondents with the following question: "Do you support or oppose having a New York State Constitutional Convention in which delegates propose changes to the State Constitution for voters to approve or reject?" In Siena College's July 2017, August 2017, September 2017, and October 2017 polls, respondents answered the following question: "Specifically, the November ballot question on a Constitutional Convention will ask, "Shall there be a convention to revise the constitution and amend the same?" Will you vote "yes" to have a Constitutional Convention or "no" to not have a Constitutional Convention?"
