Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) is trailing Westchester County Executive George Latimer, according to new polling, in a tense Democratic primary that has been defined by support for Israel. 

Bowman is 17 points behind in a survey by Emerson College Polling, PIX11, and the Hill released on Tuesday. Thirty-one percent of voters in New York’s 16th Congressional District back the Democratic incumbent compared to 48% of voters who say they’d back Latimer. Another 21% of voters remain undecided.
