New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner has seen his poll numbers plummet following revelations of his latest sexting scandal. According to a new poll released Monday, he isn’t faring much better among voters outside the Big Apple either.
The Siena College survey found that 80 percent of New York voters statewide have an unfavorable opinion of Weiner, an all-time low in the history of the school’s polling. Only 11 percent of Empire State voters have a favorable opinion of him. Three-quarters of Democrats and New York City voters said they have an unfavorable view of the outspoken former congressman.
The poll also found 68 percent of voters statewide and 62 percent of voters in NYC believe the national attention generated by the attempted political comebacks of Weiner and NYC comptroller hopeful Eliot Spitzer is “embarrassing.”
