“"The Siena poll is funded by New York state." — Bruce Blakeman, Capital Tonight, Aug 26, 2026”
Our Verdict — Why
Blakeman, disputing the Aug 3-6 Siena likely-voter poll showing him down 10, claimed the poll is state-funded. Siena Research Institute spokesman Steve Greenberg said the poll is funded by ReconMR under a licensing agreement between Siena University and ReconMR, and that no state money funds the Siena Research Institute poll. No evidence of state funding has been produced.
