Some good news: Cuomo’s<\/a> popularity continues to decline. \u00a0State of Politics reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“…\u00a0For the first time ever, Cuomo\u2019s job performance rating has slipped just below the magic 50 percent number \u2013 a development that comes as he prepares to seek re-election next fall. \u00a0 Cuomo saw a slight drop in his favorability rating, a small drop in his \u201cre-elect\u201d number, and a small drop in his job performance rating, bringing him to his lowest level \u2013 49-50, down from 52-46 percent in August \u2013 since he took office in January 2011 …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That puts him down ~25% from his post-SAFE high.<\/p>\n

With gun control proving to be such a winning issue for Cuomo, why did\u00a0Tom Suozzi feel the need to bring it<\/a> in his race?<\/p>\n

“…\u00a0Democratic Nassau County executive candidate Thomas Suozzi<\/a> has waded into Tuesday\u2019s deadly workplace shooting in Garden City, chiding his opponent, Republican County Executive Edward Mangano<\/a>, for his \u201cextreme opposition to gun control legislation.\u201d …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Noam Bramson I can understand<\/a> 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. \u00a0Hopefully it will do for him what it has done for Cuomo.<\/p>\n
