New Yorkers still in favor of Cuomo

ALBANY, N.Y. (WIVB) - New York voters are still in favor of Governor Cuomo, but less so than last month. The new poll released at 6 a.m. Monday says voters support the new gun law by 61 to 35 percent and that they oppose repealing the law 56 to 40 percent.

Review what voters think about increasing the minimum wage and legalizing small amounts of marijuana, from portions of their press release below:

Voters Strongly Support Minimum Wage Increase, Public Campaign Financing, ‘Stop & Frisk’ Reform “More than three-quarters of voters support increasing the minimum wage in New York to $9.00 per hour, down slightly from when Siena asked the question at $8.50 and $8.75 per hour, with overwhelming support from Democrats and independents and majority support from Republicans,” Greenberg said. “Support for public campaign financing remains strong – 61-33 percent – with two-thirds of Democrats, 60 percent of independents and a plurality of Republicans behind it.

“Roughly two-thirds of Democrats and independents favor what’s been called stop and frisk reform – making the possession of less than 15 grams of marijuana in public view a violation, rather than a misdemeanor – as do half of Republicans,” Greenberg said. “Overall, voters support it by a strong 63-34 percent margin.”
