Following up on Fred Dicker’s earlier piece<\/a> where he states Cuomo’s<\/a> internal polling indicates he’s pretty much lost everything north of the City, the Governor has decided to spend time<\/a> with the redneck underclass:<\/p>\n

“…\u00a0During the past several weeks, Governor Cuomo has spent much of his time in upstate New York … There\u2019s been good reason politically for Cuomo to lavish all of the attention on portions of upstate …\u00a0Until recently, Cuomo enjoyed sky high approval ratings from nearly all New Yorkers, in the 70% range. \u00a0But, after he championed strict new gun control laws in January, and pursued a left leaning agenda during the legislative session, his support among upstaters has declined precipitously. \u00a0In New York City, his popularity is still high, but in upstate about half of voters say they\u2019d prefer someone else as governor …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why would Cuomo think that spending time with people he’s fucked over is going to improve his standing with them? \u00a0I realize this is part of his “<\/em>major course correction<\/em><\/a>“<\/em> strategy (which I can’t possibly see working), but he’s exposing himself to even more protests<\/a>\u00a0which in turn will drive his approval rating even lower.<\/p>\n
