Gov. David Paterson’s (D) terrible, horrible, no good, very bad job approval numbers have moved bit, according to a new poll. Now they’re just awful. A new Quinnipiac University poll out today shows the embattled New York governor’s disapproval rating creeping down to 57%, a 3 point drop from August. His bottom-of-the-barrel 30% approval rating remained steady, however.
Other results from the Q poll show echo numbers we reported yesterday. Paterson is crushed 54-32 in a potential gubernatorial matchup with former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani (R). But there’s another bit of not-so-terrible news for Paterson, too: He ties a potential matchup with former Rep. Rick Lazio (R) 38-38.
