Ouch! Very bad news for Patterson.. It will be interesting if Spitzer decides to run as Governor again despite his scandal from last year.
TPM:
The latest Marist Poll is a mixed bag for Gov. David Paterson (D-NY). It's partly bad news -- and partly really bad news.
This number must really hurt: When New York's registered voters are asked whether they would rather have Eliot Spitzer or David Paterson as governor, it's Spitzer 51%, Paterson 38%.
The horse-race numbers are also a sight to behold. In a primary with state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, the current leader is Cuomo by a 70%-21% margin. Paterson trails in a general election match-up with Rudy Giuliani by a 56%-32% margin, and trails former GOP Rep. Rick Lazio by 40%-37%. By contrast, Cuomo leads Rudy by 55%-38%, and swamps Lazio by 67%-22%.

Good news for me as you know I don't Judge people on their personal choice of hiring woman. I've read so much about it in the bible. Now New Yorkers got tricked and I pray Spitzer gets back to working fighting crimes. Paterson is haveing a tuff time and raising taxes is hurting many people.
