ALBANY – A new poll out Tuesday morning backs up one released last week: Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s standing among New York voters is heading downward – at the same time numbers released Monday depict his fundraising activities are blazing.
The new Siena College poll shows the Democratic governor's favorabilty rating dropping a net 19 points from May. The poll also found fewer than than half of voters now say they plan to vote for Cuomo if he runs for a third term next year.
The governor took a special hit among New York City voters, whose backing is crucial if he is to run again in 2018. Many commuters are tagging Cuomo for the increasing number of problems hitting the subway system he oversees.
Statewide, 46 percent say they are prepared to re-elect Cuomo next year, while 46 percent prefer “someone else.’’ In May, 53 percent backed Cuomo and “someone else” got 36 percent.
The poll also found 52 percent of New Yorkers have a favorable view of Cuomo while 41 percent have an unfavorable one. In May, 61 percent gave him a positive rating and 31 percent said they had a negative view of him.
As Cuomo's poll numbers slide again, his fundraising soars
