Hot Damn!
Right off charges of sexual harrasment are dropped?
Andrew Cuomo is back up in the polls that could push him into try to get back his last job as New York State Governor?
(Current Governor Kathy Holchul was the Lt. Governor that moved up with Cuomo resigning )
Lots of people aren’t gonna be happy with this…
But obviously the ex-Governor has some support out there….
Hochul was WAY ahead of the weak feild until Cuomo is factored in….
Stay tuned…
If these poll numbers hold for Cuomo?
Who is already running media to prop up his damaged image….
We are ARE gonna have some story going into the August Democratic Governor primary…
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is running neck-and-neck with her ex-boss, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), in a hypothetical matchup in this year’s gubernatorial primary, according to a new poll from The Hill and Emerson College.
The poll shows that if Cuomo, who resigned last year over sexual misconduct allegations, were to run for his old seat, Hochul would lead the primary field with 37 percent support among Democratic primary voters, while Cuomo would come in second with 33 percent. Rep. Thomas Suozzi (D) would come in third place with just over 7 percent, and New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams comes in fourth with 4 percent.
Should Cuomo remain out of the race, Hochul would have a yawning advantage with 42 percent support in the field. Williams would jump up to just under 10 percent in the race, while no other contender breaks double digits….
…
Cuomo has also launched a rehabilitation tour of sorts, boasting earlier Sunday at an ally’s church in Brooklyn that “God isn’t finished with me yet” and that he was the target of a witch hunt.
However, in a sign of potential headwinds for Cuomo, 59 percent of all New York voters said they trust the findings of James’s report, while just 23 percent said they did not. Another 17 percent said they’re unsure….
Note….
Cuomo has plenty of campaign money in the bank ….
Lots of New York lawmakers will be foreced to make choices if Cuomo runs and he’s a ‘take no prisoners’ guy…..
If he win’s?
It could be painful for those who didn’t support him….
Note…
Here’s the Republican side of things….
NY-Gov (R): On the Republican side, the Emerson College/The Hill poll found Congressman Lee Zeldin leading Heir Force General Andrew Giuliani by 10 points, 27-17%. Former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino was next at 11%, followed by 2010 New York State Comptroller candidate Harry Wilson at 6%, Lewis County Sheriff Michael Carpinelli at 5%, Derrick Gibson at 3%, and Kris Lord at 1%. 23% were undecided and 7% would vote for the mythical “someone else.”…

Andrew Cuomo appears to be quietly running for his old job I believe….
Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo released a second campaign style TV ad Monday as he’s set to speak to a group of Hispanic clergy this week in the Bronx in what some see as the latest steps toward launching a political comeback afterresigning in August under threat of impeachment.
In the 30-second ad, titled “The Record,” the scandal-scarred former governor touts his accomplishments — including strengthening the state’s gun control laws and raising the minimum wage.
But he also claims credit for what many see as one of his greatest failings, saying he “led” the entire country during the COVID-19 pandemic, when it subsequently emerged he spent a good portion of that time promoting himself and his then-CNN host brother, Chris; writing a memoir about it mid-pandemic that may have used government resources and hiding the true death toll of senior citizens in nursing homes from the virus. …
