In a survey of 778 registered voters, Siena College found that Mr. Cuomo has had a precipitous eight-point drop in his favorability rating, down to 43 percent from 51 percent last month. A full 50 percent of those polled had a unfavorable opinion of Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, up seven points from last month.

And that may have been the good news: Mr. Cuomo’s job-performance rating was even worse, with just 35 percent of those surveyed saying he was doing a “excellent” or “good” job. Almost twice that — 64 percent — said Mr. Cuomo was doing a “fair” or “poor” job, another sharp rise from January.

Mr. Cuomo was not alone. Siena found that Senator Chuck Schumer’s favorability had also slipped six percentage points, to 47 percent; and 46 percent of those surveyed said they held an unfavorable view of New York’s senior senator. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who recently launched a presidential campaign, also saw her favorability slip, to 44 percent, though that is well above her unfavorability rating of 34 percent.

Cuomo, Schumer and Gillibrand are all tanking in approval ratings. High tax policies have driven away tax contributors from New York, and tax revenues dropped nearly $3 billion dollars YOY in the state leading Cuomo and Democrats in the state scrambling to figure out how to balance budgets with less and less revenue.

Seems to me like New York is ripe for the picking, a change in power. Might not be from the GOP, but could be a moderate Democrat like Manchin, or even an independent.
