New Yorkers Losing Interest In Caroline Kennedy
Email This Post
In a survey of all voters in New York Caroline Kennedy has dropped behind alternative Senate stand-in Andrew Cuomo (who actually has political experience as the current NY Attorney General) by 31%. Of course voters have no direct say in this appointment by Gov. Paterson though they sure will in the 2010 special election which would be Kennedy’s first election for anything should we receive the appointment.
Caroline Kennedy’s popularity has suffered a “clear hit” as a result of her public campaign for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Senate seat, while Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s positive ratings have shot up, according to a new poll.
According to Public Policy Polling, of Raleigh, N.C., 44 percent of New York State voters now say they have a less favorable opinion of Kennedy than they did before she started vying for the position. Thirty-three percent say it’s made no difference, and 23 percent report now having a more favorable opinion of her.
Cuomo now leads Kennedy 58-27 in a survey of the preferences of state voters. Among Democrats, Cuomo is ahead of Kennedy 54-34 percent; a month ago, the survey found Kennedy ahead of Cuomo by 44-23 percent among Democrats.
You know, maybe, you know, folks weren’t as impressed with her as they were with her namesake. Afterall, what’s in a name?
