Cuomo Fears The Worst As First Polls After Scandal Approach
” Gov. Cuomo, “crazed with anger” and increasingly abusive to those around him, fears the first round of public polling since the “Morelandgate” scandal will take a major toll on his — until-now — sky-high popularity, administration insiders say.
He won’t have long to wait.
A poll designed to gauge the scandal’s impact will be released this week by the Marist Institute of Public Opinion and it could have a major impact on Cuomo’s race against Republican Rob Astorino and on his Democratic primary battle with Zephyr Teachout, a Fordham law professor.
Administration insiders, aware of private polling data already collected by Cuomo’s campaign, say the public poll likely will show the governor’s approval rating plummeting.
“ The bad news is starting to stick. This is very serious,’’ a senior Cuomo administration figure nervously told The Post.”
