Andrew Cuomo has resigned following a New York attorney general investigation that alleges he sexually harassed 11 women, including his own staff members, all eyes are on Lt. That included 369 registered Democrats, and the numbers related to the primary had a margin of error of 5.5 points.Kathy Hochul, a moderate Democrat from western New York, will be the state's 1st female governor after Cuomo leaves office.ĪLBANY, N.Y. Siena surveyed 804 registered voters from March 20-24, and their overall numbers had a margin of error of 4.2 percent. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy polled at 70 percent to 13 percent.

“Putin sets the all-time Siena College poll record, previously held by former Rep. Putin sets record for worst popularity: Russian President Vladimir Putin was viewed favorably by 6 percent of respondents and unfavorably by 88 percent. Legalizing drinks-to-go, another contentious budget issue, was supported 50 percent to 41 percent an environmental bond act was backed 48 percent to 28 percent, and a plan to give the first marijuana retail licenses to individuals effected by marijuana convictions was only liked 33 percent to 54 percent. “And an overwhelming majority of New Yorkers, including at least 72% of voters of every party, region and race, say the law should be amended to give judges more discretion to set bail.”Ī total of 70 percent of respondents supported a temporary suspension of New York’s gas tax, while 24 percent opposed the idea as lawmakers contemplate relief at the pump as part of the state budget for the fiscal year that starts April 1. “Nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers – including at least 60% of Republicans, independents, voters from every region, and white and Latino voters, as well as majorities of Democratic and Black voters – say the bail law has resulted in an increase in crime,” Siena spokesperson Steve Greenberg said in a statement.

Voters continue to sour on bail: Only 30 percent of respondents said the limits placed on the use of cash bail in 2019 have been “good for New York,” compared to 56 percent who said they were “bad.” That was at $21 million in January compared to Cuomo’s $16 million, and it’s safe to assume her money lead has grown since then. She was viewed favorably by 45 percent of registered voters, making it the sixth consecutive Siena poll since she took office last August in which that number has fallen between 42 percent and 46 percent.īut unlike her predecessor, Hochul has been sitting on her war chest. The current governor’s numbers have begun to stagnate. In a question asking only about the candidates who have actually entered the race, Hochul received 52 percent of the vote to Williams’ 12 percent and Suozzi’s 11 percent. To enter the primary field, Cuomo would need to launch a petitioning campaign and gather tens of thousands of signatures by the end of next week. That suggests that the multimillion-dollar ad campaign to improve his image that he launched a month ago did not move the needle much - in February, Siena found his favorability to be 33 percent to 60 percent. The former governor was viewed favorably by 32 percent of all registered voters and unfavorably by 60 percent in the poll that was conducted from March 20-24.
