Cuomo Crushes Little Known Republicans
A new Quinnipiac poll in New York finds Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (D) has a 74% job approval rating and commanding leads of 2-1 or more against the little-known Republican contenders in the gubernatorial race.
Cuomo beats Rick Lazio (R), 55% to 26%, tops Carl Paladino (R), 60% to 24%, and beats Steve Levy (R), 57% to 24%. In each matchup, Cuomo gets at least 80% of the Democratic vote, plus 20% or more of the Republican vote and 50% or more of the independent vote.
Stern to Resign from SEIU
Ben Smith breaks the news that Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern, a prominent labor leader and a key player in the Democratic party, will resign from the organization he helped build after 14 years at the helm.
The news came as a shock to many, though those close to Stern “had expected him to resign during the first term of the president he helped elect, and after the achievement he’d spent years focusing on, widening access to health care.”
