The results of this survey probably won’t be made public (after you read the entire article you’ll see why). After all, what’s probably freshest on NY voters minds is stuff like this. This survey had to be done – and wisely so – so everybody could have science behind telling Governor Patterson: “What are you, nuts?”

A Republican Rotterdam resident wrote in to say that his wife received a polling call Wednesday night that purported to be about “the media and their coverage of elected officials,” but sounded a lot like someone trying to determine the degree of support – or lack thereof – for Gov. David Paterson in 2010.

(For the uninitiated, Rotterdam is in Schenectady County, which is in the Capital Region).

The questioner did not offer up the identity of the organization that had commissioned the poll, (and the respondent didn’t ask) which means this probably wasn’t conducted by one of the public outfits like Quinnipiac or Marist.
