Half of New Yorkers Want Cuomo to Stay Despite Scandals Bloomberg 3/16/2021 Stacie Sherman and Shelly Banjo
(Bloomberg) A new poll out Monday said half of New York voters don’t think Andrew Cuomo should resign, emboldening him and his supporters as the scandal-ridden, three term governor faces an impeachment investigation and calls to step down from dozens of lawmakers in his own party.
The Democratic governor’s approval rating has sunk to its lowest point in the Siena College poll since taking office in 2011, with only 43% of New York registered voters having a favorable view of him, however. That’s down from 56% in February and a high of 77% reached last year during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the poll.
The Governor spoke at a closed press event on Long Island, and did not take questions or acknowledge the investigation into allegations of sexual harassment.
