According to the latest Siena Research Institute poll
released last week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo holds a 36-point lead over Westchester
County Executive Rob Astorino, 57-21 percent. Astorino remains largely
unknown to most New Yorkers with more than two-thirds of voters saying they
don’t know or have no opinion of him. Governor Cuomo is also enjoying a
63-31 percent favorability rating.
In other statewide races, Comptroller Tom DiNapoli and
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, both Democrats, have large leads over their
opponents. DiNapoli leads Onondaga County Comptroller Bob Antonacci by 34
points, and Schneiderman leads John Cahill by 25 points. For the full poll results,
