Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s reelection campaign had another hiccup Tuesday with a new poll showing the incumbent lawmaker is down by double digits just two weeks out from the primary elections in New York.

The contest for New York’s 16th Congressional District between Mr. Bowman and Westchester County Executive George Lattimer has become one of the more heated Democratic primaries in the country, pitting a progressive Democrat with a track history of theatrics against a longtime state legislator.

Mr. Bowman, a member of the far-left “Squad,” trailed Mr. Lattimer by 17 points in the latest poll of the Democratic primary race, though a greater number said they were undecided on who to support.

The survey, which was conducted by Emerson College, the Hill and local news station PIX11, asked 425 likely Democratic voters whom they would support on June 25, issues that were important to them, and their view of both candidates.

Mr. Bowman, 48, polled the best among voters 40 and under, with about 44% throwing support behind the two-term incumbent.

Meanwhile, Mr. Lattimer fared the best with voters over 40, with over 50% of voters in that age demographic backing the county executive.

The incumbent lawmaker also polled better with Black voters, with 41% of those surveyed backing Mr. Bowman, while Mr. Lattimer scored 51% of support from White voters in the district.

Among the voters surveyed, 21% said they were undecided on who they would support.

Mr. Bowman, along with other progressive Democrats seeking reelection, has come under fire in recent months for his vehement anti-Israel stance and support for a cease-fire. Mr. Lattimer has been more cautious on the subject, and voters in the poll appeared to have taken notice.

More voters, 45%, aligned themselves with Mr. Lattimer’s views of not calling for an outright cease-fire in the conflict, compared to 29% who backed Mr. Bowman’s views.

The incumbent has also made headlines for theatrics in Washington and at home.

Mr. Bowman pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for pulling a fire alarm while the House was preparing to vote on a government funding bill in October, and has come under scrutiny for a blog filled with conspiracy theories.

Roughly 51% of voters hold a favorable view of Mr. Bowman, while 43% dislike him. More voters, 65%, held a favorable view of Mr. Lattimer, who has been involved in local and state politics since the 1980s.
