With 13 weeks until the November election, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer has expanded his lead to a four-to-one edge over former Assembly Minority Leader John Faso, according to a new Siena College Research Institute poll of New York voters released Monday. The few voters who saw the Democratic gubernatorial debate give a clear advantage to Spitzer. The attorney general race is tightening. And leading Republicans would beat leading Democrats in New York if the 2008 presidential election were held today.
Spitzer leads Faso 70-17 percent. He leads among Republicans 45-34 percent. Spitzer’s favorable rating is the highest it’s ever been at 71-15 percent, while Faso continues to be unknown to two-thirds of voters and has a favorable rating of 16-15 percent among those who have an opinion of him. If the race featured Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi against Faso, Suozzi would lead 40-22 percent
In the race for attorney general, Andrew Cuomo saw his 26 point lead over Jeanine Pirro tighten to 15 points, 50-35 percent. If Mark Green is the Democratic candidate, he leads Pirro 41-37 percent. Cuomo’s favorable rating is 44-35 percent (down from 47-29 percent in June). Green has 30-21 percent favorable rating. Pirro has 30-29 percent favorable rating.
