You would think by now Governor Spitzer would get the message that he is headed in the wrong direction. The man that had a landslide victory in free fall and he just doesn’t get it.

Spitzer’s Popularity Still Plummets

Buffalo, NY (WBEN) - One year after he took office, 65 percent of registered voters say Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s job performance is fair at best, and fully two-thirds of New Yorkers have a negative view of him, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The Siena New York poll shows that voters continue to give the Governor a two-to-one negative job performance and twice as many voters say they would “prefer someone else” rather than re-elect Spitzer.

When given three options for closing a potential state budget gap, more voters – nearly one-third – chose increasing taxes over cutting either education or health care spending.

“Voters do not think that the things in New York State have gotten better since Eliot Spitzer became Governor last year,” says Siena poll spokesman Steven Greenberg

“More than one in five voters – 22 percent – say things have gotten worse, while only 15 percent say things have gotten better. The majority, 58 percent, say things have stayed pretty much the same. For New Yorkers, the slogan ‘everything changes on Day 1’ is a long forgotten memory.”
