New York's tax revenues down billions, Cuomo's approval rating in the dumps: Could New York be ripe for a change in power?

In a survey of 778 registered voters, Siena College found that Mr. Cuomo has had a precipitous eight-point drop in his favorability rating, down to 43 percent from 51 percent last month. A full 50 percent of those polled had a unfavorable opinion of Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, up seven points from last month.

And that may have been the good news: Mr. Cuomo’s job-performance rating was even worse, with just 35 percent of those surveyed saying he was doing a “excellent” or “good” job. Almost twice that — 64 percent — said Mr. Cuomo was doing a “fair” or “poor” job, another sharp rise from January.

Mr. Cuomo was not alone. Siena found that Senator Chuck Schumer’s favorability had also slipped six percentage points, to 47 percent; and 46 percent of those surveyed said they held an unfavorable view of New York’s senior senator. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who recently launched a presidential campaign, also saw her favorability slip, to 44 percent, though that is well above her unfavorability rating of 34 percent.


Cuomo, Schumer and Gillibrand are all tanking in approval ratings. High tax policies have driven away tax contributors from New York, and tax revenues dropped nearly $3 billion dollars YOY in the state leading Cuomo and Democrats in the state scrambling to figure out how to balance budgets with less and less revenue.

Seems to me like New York is ripe for the picking, a change in power. Might not be from the GOP, but could be a moderate Democrat like Manchin, or even an independent.

De Blasio and Cuomo are such retards. Turn away 25,000 well paying jobs because they won't agree to a per head luxury tax.

This is also the reason why high tax policies are retarded. Wealth can flee at a moments notice, the world is very big.

"Elections have consequences". Congratulations to New Yorkers for being fucking idiots!

Read CNN's version of the story. It's hilarious. They make no mention of Cuomo's statement or others criticizing ACO. They say Amazon failed lol

They should elect Ocasio. Faster route to socialism which they all seem to want.

Replace lady liberty with statue of Lenin while at it, more fitting.

A couple years ago, if someone would have told me that CNN twists the truth this much (and this often) in favor of a leftist agenda, I wouldn't have believed it. But now I see it all the time.

Yep, looks like now Amazon is going to reneg on Campaign Contributions and/or contributions to Cuomo and DiBlassio. Has them steaming mad. At least this shows AOC is the real thing, as a true Democrat Socialist would be actively against billion dollar corporate incentives and seems not worried about losing potential campaign support from Amazon.

Occasional cortex has destroyed 25,000 direct jobs in New York and at least another 25,000 in support jobs from Amazons presence in the state.

50,000 jobs destroyed by OCA and not even 1 year in.

Good job AOC.

Set up your voters for your vision of Venezuelan style Utopia.

You will have solved the New York rat epidemic. Your voters will soon gladly catch and eat them.

The Stupid is strong with this one.

Unfortunately for all of us, they will now move to place with jobs (Texas) and bring their stupidity with them.

Democrats are experts at job destruction.

AOC is the Cuomo/Di Blasio Roach Motel? Maybe she didn't get her cut of the bribes and emoluments! She's GANGSTA!
31   Goran_K   2019 Feb 16, 4:28pm  

It’s confirmed. Amazon has claimed AOC is one of the primary reasons for Amazon pulling out of New York. Golden material for 2020

Getting Amazon to pull out of New York was an AOC stated goal, AOC takes credit, not blame. She will run on a platform of not giving into Corporate interests like Amazon and the billion dollar bribes local governments provide.

I'm calling horse shit on this. Bezos wants AOC gone, and pulled off a PR live action hit piece w mastery. The real story here is how Bezos managed to go from dick pic to job creator hero in 5 days.

Also, he can put his headquarters anywhere, I dont think this decision effects him much.

If I was running a business and multiple states were fighting to get my jobs and oen state was calling me evil -which state do you think I would pick? Unless NY offered other competitive advantages -like if you are a wall street or hedge fund type firm-why would anyone want to go to that place?

I was wondering how NY state had that deal. No clue.

I wonder what Ocasio-Clueless thinks about the thousands of dollars of taxpayer money that we give to a customer for buying a Tesla? This is cash our of our pockets.
