>>"While the Governor’s numbers may not be falling off a cliff, they are rolling swiftly and solidly down hill," Greenberg said.

"In four short months, the voters’ view of Spitzer’s job performance has reversed itself. Four times as many voters think he’s doing a poor job as think he’s doing an excellent job," Greenberg said. "Since January, his favorability has fallen by 21 points while his unfavorability has risen by 26 points."

In a hypothetical race against Bloomberg for Governor in 2010, Spitzer trails 50-37 percent. He beat Bloomberg 43-41 percent in June. Democrats favor Spitzer 54-35 percent, while Republicans favor Bloomberg 70-18 percent. Bloomberg leads by 28 points in New York City and 31 points in the downstate suburbs. Spitzer has a 15-point lead over Bloomberg upstate.

"What a difference a summer can make. In June, Spitzer had a small lead but now Mayor Mike’s lead is significant. Eliot Spitzer should be happy his re-election is three years away," Greenberg said.
