ALBANY—A just-released Quinnipiac Poll echoes the findings of this morning’s Siena Poll: New Yorkers are not pleased with their government.
Sixty-nine percent of the voters surveyed disapproved of how the State Legislature is handling its job, and 67 percent were not pleased with how the State Senate is handling its job. That chamber is embroiled in a leadership fight.
Regardless, the poll finds, voters would support returning their state senator to office by a margin of 48-27 percent.
“Dysfunctional? That could be the automatic adjective for Albany. Maybe we should find a more vivid word,” said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
