A Quinnipiac University poll show that New York voters disapprove of the job Governor David Paterson has done by a count of 60-28 percent. This is the lowest approval rating in history for a New York Governor. The main reason for Gov. Paterson's low rating is the way he has handled the state budget. Some say Paterson had a chance to improve his rating with his handling of the state budget after the poor way he named Kirsten Gillibrand state senator when Hillary Clinton took the job as Secretary of State.
63 percent of voters say David Paterson should not be elected to a full four-year term in the next city election.
Conversely, New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, has a near-record high 75-14 percent approval rating and tops Paterson in a Democratic primary 61-18 percent according to the poll.
