Under 50%

Some good news: Cuomo’s popularity continues to decline.  State of Politics reports:

“… For the first time ever, Cuomo’s job performance rating has slipped just below the magic 50 percent number – a development that comes as he prepares to seek re-election next fall.   Cuomo saw a slight drop in his favorability rating, a small drop in his “re-elect” number, and a small drop in his job performance rating, bringing him to his lowest level – 49-50, down from 52-46 percent in August – since he took office in January 2011 …”

That puts him down ~25% from his post-SAFE high.

With gun control proving to be such a winning issue for Cuomo, why did Tom Suozzi feel the need to bring it in his race?

“… Democratic Nassau County executive candidate Thomas Suozzi has waded into Tuesday’s deadly workplace shooting in Garden City, chiding his opponent, Republican County Executive Edward Mangano, for his “extreme opposition to gun control legislation.” …”

Noam Bramson I can understand as he’s been pushing the issue for a long time, but I do not recall Suozzi talking it up during his first go around in Nassau.  Hopefully it will do for him what it has done for Cuomo.
