Cuomo Rules

I’ve mentioned a few times that the abysmally low poll numbers for many freshman Republican governors around the country are not matched by similarly situated freshman Dems. But no one is remotely in the same category as Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York. Not even remotely. New York is in the recession like every other state and he’s pushed through major fiscal retrenchment in Albany. But he’s not only popular, his approval and favorability ratings continue to rise. The latest Siena poll has his favorability rating at 71% and the TPM Poll Average has his approval rating at 63%
