According to a new
Marist poll, New York voters solidly support NY State attorney General Andrew
Cuomo over Caroline Kennedy for the US Senate seat being vacated by Hillary
Clinton. These numbers are a sharp reversal of several earlier polls.
Indeed, the most recent statewide polling universally indicates a sharp erosion
of support for Kennedy. Marist writes that 40% of registered voters in New York State want Gov. David Paterson to appoint Cuomo; another 25% believe Caroline Kennedy would be the better choice. A month ago, the same poll showed the two in a virtual tie, with 25% support for each.
