Andrew Cuomo claims that he cannot allow his Catholic faith (no, that’s what he claims) to interfere with his lawmaking. Apparently, he can’t allow the wishes of his constituents to interfere with his agenda, either.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is paying the political price for signing into law legislation to legalize abortions up to birth. According to a new poll, Governor Cuomo’s standing with New York voters fell to a new low.
The Democratic governor’s favorability rating fell to 43 percent with 50 percent viewing him unfavorably, down from 51 percent to 43 percent last month, the lowest figures Siena recorded since Cuomo took office in 2011, the Albany-area polling institute said.
His job-performance rating also fell significantly: 35 percent said he was doing an “excellent” or “good” job, compared to 64 percent who said “fair” or “poor”. Last month, it was 43 percent and 56 percent, respectively.
“Now, for the first time ever, half of New Yorkers view Andrew Cuomo unfavorably. It’s his lowest favorability rating ever and his lowest-ever job performance as governor,” Steven Greenberg, a Siena College poll spokesman, said in a statement.
“And it is a dramatic drop in both ratings from last month.”
