Cuomo maintains large lead over Astorino

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, click here.
