Grimm leads Donovan by 10 points in poll
With the Republican Primary just three weeks away, former Congressmember Michael Grimm appears to be showing surprising strength in his quest to unseat Dan Donovan, despite the fact that President Donald Trump enthusiastically endorsed the incumbent.
A new NY1-Siena College Research Institute poll of likely Republican voters in the 11th Congressional District showed Grimm ahead of Donovan by 10 points, 47 percent to 37 percent.
The district takes in several Southwest Brooklyn neighborhoods and covers the entire borough of Staten Island.
