Incumbent Democrat A.G. Andrew Cuomo has a 68% job approval rating.  The state’s Democrat Governor David Paterson has a 21/50 fav/unfav rating.  That makes disgraced former A.G. and Governor Eliot Spitzer look angelic with his 26/44 fav/unfav rating.  Couple of real political lions out on the prowl aren’t they?  From The New York Times:

With layoffs hitting close to home, those surveyed expressed little confidence that Mr. Paterson could bring new jobs to the state, reduce property taxes or deal with a serious crisis.

Mr. Paterson is now less popular in the state than his predecessor, Eliot Spitzer, who resigned in disgrace after being identified as the client of a prostitution ring. Only 21 percent of New York voters say they have a favorable view of Mr. Paterson; 26 percent have a favorable view of Mr. Spitzer.

Seven in 10 respondents said Mr. Paterson did not deserve to be elected in 2010.

In a worrisome sign for Mr. Paterson, the poll found overwhelming approval of the way Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo was handling his job.
