Poll Watch: New York Governor David Paterson Loses 2010 Race Lead to Bloomberg and Giuliani

New York Governor David Paterson and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani

Not a good week for New York Governor David Paterson. He appoints Blue Dog Democrat Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand to Hillary Clinton’s U.S. Senate seat and trashes Caroline Kennedy in the process. The LEFT and the Kennedy Klan are pissed and may gun for him at Democrat Primary time.

Now, the latest Marist poll has him losing to Mayor Michael Bloomberg and tied with Rudy Giuliani in a 2010 race for re-election as New York Governor.

If the 2010 election for governor were held today, Paterson would lose when matched against New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.  47% say they would rather vote for Bloomberg compared with 41% who say they would cast their ballot for the incumbent governor.  Bloomberg has consistently been a formidable potential opponent.  While Paterson edged out Bloomberg by four percentage points in Marist’s November survey, Bloomberg outpaced Paterson by 11 percentage points in October.  Paterson has also lost ground when matched up against former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.  In Marist’s previous polls, Paterson repeatedly distanced himself from the Republican.  His hypothetical lead in November was 10 percentage points.  Currently, Paterson and Giuliani are in a statistical dead heat.  Paterson receives 46% of voters’ support while Giuliani garners 47%.

The New York Democrat Party is not stupid and David Paterson is a sure loser to Bloomberg or Giuliani in 2010. The Dems will convince Paterson to accept some federal appointment from Obama and run Andrew Cuomo, Jr. as their Governor nominee.

If not, the next Governor of New York will be Bloomberg or Rudy.

    Michael Bloomberg is not only a better mayor of New York than Rudy Giuliani – he’d make a better President, too.
    That’s the result of a Daily News poll released today that asked the voters who know best – New Yorkers – which man belongs in the White House.

    Giuliani was right. New York is a better place because of the changes he brought. It’s safer, there are more jobs, it’s cleaner, it’s not as offensive to a family to walk down the street with children and worry about the peep-show houses right next to the theatre where a Broadway show is playing.

    Guliani was awesome because he used the law to clean up NYC. Bloomberg is terrible because he helps create truly fascistic laws under the guise of ‘caring’. There’s such a clear difference between the two mayors. Yet Guliani is reviled by the left, and Bloomberg receives no flack from them.

    Rudy Giuliani is far too much of a Republican partisan to be a good NY Governor in my opinion. Mike Bloomberg is much more centrist and independent minded; he could be a good Governor for NY. And then there is Andrew Cuomo, who would garner the support of many Democrats in NY in any race he runs in during the 2010 statewide elections. If the Republicans want to win they should try to run Bloomberg. If the Democrats want to win they should definitely eject Paterson from their ticket and replace him with Andrew Cuomo. Everyone is talking about a Cuomo versus Giuliani race. I think a Bloomberg versus Cuomo race would be much more interesting.
