The first post-Moreland poll shows Governor Cuomo with a 53% approval rating.
I doubt it is really that high. There is just no enthusiasm for him. Nevertheless, it does indicate Moreland-gate is having a negative effect on the Governor’s image.
This drop has not, however, prompted Governor Chrisitie to endorse Rob Astorino. Chrisitie is head of the Republican Governor’s Association and could direct resources towards Astorino’s campaign. In an ideal situation, Moreland-gate knocks Cuomo out this year and Christie out for ’16 presidential consideration.
