Gov. Paterson’s job performance ratings have crashed thorough the floor, with less than one in five New Yorkers saying he’s doing well, a new poll shows.
Just 19% of those polled gave him a positive rating, while 78% turned thumbs down, the Siena College poll found. That’s down from 51% positive and 45% negative in the same poll just two months ago.
How bad have things gone for a governor?
New York’s first black governor trails Attorney General Andrew Cuomo 55-22% among black voters in a potential 2010 primary.
If Patterson doesn’t read the writing on the wall, watch for the Democrat Powers That Be to try and force him out – Patterson on the ticket means an almost-certain GOP victory in the 2010 gubernatorial contest.
Its getting rather dicey out there for Democrats – polls show the GOP pulling even with Democrats in the “generic” Congressional ballot, independents swinging GOP, Patterson, Dodd and other Democrats in deep electoral trouble. Democrats better pray that Obama’s program works, because if things aren’t a lot better by September of next year, Democrats will be blown out at the polls.
As an aside: Obama’s program won’t work.
