"Not only has his big lead in the hypothetical horse race, where Siena asked voters - until someone is identified as a gubernatorial candidate - 43 percent of voters, including 31 percent of Republicans reported that they would like to see Andrew Cuomo appointed the next governor. It was a three-way tie for second, at 5 percent, including (Gov. David) Paterson, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Paladino. No candidate than Cuomo was named by more than 12 percent of all geographic or demographic group " pollen ester Steven Greenberg said. |
