Times are so bad for Gov. David A. Paterson that 51 percent of voters say they'd rather see Spitzer, who left office a year ago following his fling with a prostitute, in office as governor than Paterson, a new poll out this morning by Marist College has found
Only 19 percent say the governor is doing a good or excellent job in office -- down 7 percent from March. And 68 percent disapprove of the job he is doing tackling the state's most pressing problem: the economy. By a 67-27 percent margin, New Yorkers think the state under Paterson is moving in the wrong direction.
Paterson couldn't even get any breaks from his fellow Democrats: only 22 percent think he's going a good job as governor.
