Wow, former Lt. Governor Paterson’s ballot numbers are in a free fall. From PressConnects.com:
Gov. David Paterson’s lead over Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in a potential Democratic gubernatorial primary next year dropped from 23 points last month to just two points now, according to a poll released today.
The poll, by the Siena Research Institute, found Paterson leading Cuomo among Democrats only 35 percent to 33 percent, compared to 49 percent to 26 percent a month ago.
“Whether because of the prolonged Senate selection situation or on-going budget issues, voters are less inclined to support Gov. Paterson for election today than they were only one month ago,” said Siena poll spokesman Steven Greenberg.
Politics on the Hudson makes some points about Democrat prospects holding the office with Paterson as the standard bearer. Dave over at the Hedgehog Report has lots of poll numbers from a couple of other recent surveys. And here’s a close up of A.G. Cuomo…really close.
