A new Quinnpiac poll of New York State voters shows New Yorks' Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo leading New Jersey's Republican governor Chris Christie 46-38 percent, in a theoretical head-to-head matchup for the presidency.
New York Post state editor Fred Dicker, a longtime ally of Cuomo who clashed with the governor over Albany's recently passed gun-control legislation, said today on his radio show that the results were "terrible" for Cuomo, noting that New York State has many more registered Democrats than Republicans, in adddition to whatever built-in homestate advantage Cuomo ought to have over Christie.
Republicans in New York preferred Christie 77-12 percent. That's slightly higher than the number of Democrats who preferred Cuomo: 75-13 percent.
But among independent voters, Christie had a clear advantage: 48 percent preferred him, to just 29 percent who preferred Cuomo.
27 percent of voters here didn't know enough about Christie to have a favorable or unfavorable opinion, compared to 18 percent for Cuomo. So voters here may not be as familiar with Christie's actually quite conservative record: he opposes same-sex marriage, opposes a minimum-wage hike and takes a notably hard line on public-employee unions.
Cuomo's polling reflects a more traditionally partisan breakdown of support, compared to the unusually high numbers among Republicans that he sustained throughout the early part of his term. (A NBC-WSJ-Marist poll earlier this month showed a 13 percent drop in approval among Republicans. That decline was evident back in January.)
According to today's Quinnipiac poll, Republicans for the first time have a negative impression of him. Although, as always, it's worth noting that that's only news in the relative sense: A 38-49 percent approval rating from the opposing party is still unusually good. Among Democrats, Cuomo is approved 69-12 percent, and 49-34 percent among independents.
Andrew"Cesare" Cuomo will be out of a job come 2014 & "WATSON" will be our next Governor & later President who will lead US into "SPACE"
The "Grand Challenge" of the 100 Year Starship
It's been about 10 months since DARPA announced it had awarded seed funding to form an independent, non-governmental organization with the goal of pursuing human interstellar space flight within the next 100 years. Leaders from this "100 Year Starship" effort took to the stage recently at the South By Southwest Interactive festival in Austin, Texas to talk a bit more about what it means to pursue such a "grand challenge."

New York has the highest taxes in the nation. It is ranked as the least "business-friendly" state in the country. The implementation of Coumo’s SAFE ACT is not only going to cost NY state 36 million dollars a year, it has created a hostile environment for both in-state and out of state sports men and women who now risk committing crimes for the countless technical criminal violations created by the SAFE Act for possessing items which can be purchased over the counter in all our neighboring states. Cuomo had to take his bar exam 5 times... how is it possible that he can write legislation and get it signed by the majority of state lawmakers who admit they signed it without even reading it?
