Gov. Andrew Cuomo's favorability rating, after reaching its highest point of his second term in early January, took a considerable dip this month.
According to the latest poll conducted by the Siena College Research Institute and released early Monday, Cuomo's favorability rating fell from 62 percent positive and 30 percent negative the week of Jan. 7-11 to 53 percent positive and 40 percent negative last week. Also, the number of registered New York voters happy with Cuomo's job performance also decreased, dropping from 50 percent positive and 48 percent negative in January to 45 percent positive and 53 percent negative.
Siena pollster Steven Greenberg said the governor's numbers took a hit with Democrats, Republicans and independents. Cuomo is running for a third term in November.
"In all three measures, Cuomo is down with voters in New York City, down big upstate and essentially unchanged in the downstate suburbs," Greenberg said in a news release. "The drop was much bigger with men than with women. The good news for Cuomo is that the two Republicans still seeking to run against him (state Sen. John DeFrancisco and former Erie County Executive Joel Giambra) are both unknown to more than three-quarters of New York voters."
