New York voters favor sweeping their state legislators from office in the November election, a Quinnipiac University poll reported today.

Fifty-three percent said the state senator in their district should be ousted, with 35 percent opposed. New Yorkers favor removing their state assembly member, 49 percent to 33 percent, the poll found.

Voters told interviewers “their own state senator should be swept out of office in a general housecleaning,” Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said in a statement.

The survey, conducted July 20-26, coincided with the state Legislature’s failure to complete a budget due April 1.
