The numbers remain mired despite overall popularity for two of the governor’s signature programs, gun control, known as the New York SAFE Act, and a minimum wage hike for fast food workers to $15 an hour.
Voters gave Gov. Cuomo bad grades in a number of key performance areas, including planning for New York’s future, improving public education and reducing corruption, according to a new poll.
“By a almost identical 62-33 percent margin, voters agree with the arguments of minimum wage supporters, rather than the arguments of opponents”, Greenberg said.
As part of its review, the state Education Department last week set up a website to receive public feedback on Common Core. Meanwhile, 10 percent said he has no real assets.
“Cuomo, after almost five years in office, has hit a new plateau”, said Greenberg. “It may help to explain his consistent middle-of-the-road standing with voters of late”. Another 21% said Common Core standards have made little impact. Last month, “wrong direction” led the poll 49-41 percent, so this means a net 15-point improvement in how New Yorkers view the direction of the state. About half still like and support him, the other half, have reservations, according to a new Siena College poll. It is opposed by a small majority of Republicans and upstate voters continue to be closely divided. “Both these non-New York City regions were very negative about the state’s direction last month”.
By a two-to-one margin, voters believe that the controversial Common Core testing standards have worsened, not improved, public education in New York, a poll Monday found.
