Most New Yorkers Think Cuomo Is Ethical

Let's see, three Cuomo associates are under criminal investigation, Cuomo's economic development programs appear to be rife with proposals rigged for his donors, subpoenas have been flying all across the state for information on how Cuomo and his associates operate state contracting business, but New Yorkers think he's honest and trustworthy according to the latest Siena poll:

By a margin of 60 percent to 30 percent, voters told the poll they believe the governor is an ethical person. It’s a sign the investigations, for now, are yet to take their toll on Cuomo.

Clearly people are not paying attention.

In fact, most don't know who Preet Bharara is:

Bharara, an appointed prosecutor who has netted high-profile convictions, including those of the two former legislative leaders in the Assembly and Senate, Sheldon Silver and Dean Skelos.
Despite Bharara’s successes, most voters, 69 percent, either do not know him or have an opinion when asked about their views of him.

No wonder this state is in the mess it's in.

Nobody knows what the fuck is really going on.

In other Siena news, Cuomo's approval remains in the toilet, with 42% approving of the job he is doing 58% disapproving.

But it's on ethics where Cuomo really wins, unbelievable as that may seem.

Perhaps indictments will manage to remove the word "ethical" from Cuomo's name in the public's mind.

Although given how clueless most people appear to be, at least judging by the Siena poll, even that is not a given.

  1. Clueless is a nice way of putting it. This complete lack of awareness of the forces that impact the quality of our existence is just what our government has been aiming for. It has taken years but with the advent of social media it's now in full swing.
