Obama Still Beats All Republicans
A new McClatchy-Marist poll finds just 36% of registered voters say they’d definitely vote for President Obama next year — but he still tops all Republican challengers in one-on-one match ups.
Mitt Romney comes closest, but trails Obama by four points, 46% to 42%.
Said pollster Lee Miringoff: “Republican candidates have not at this point developed credibility with voters.”
Obama to Hold News Conference
President Obama will hold a news conference at 11:30 a.m. from the White House.
He’s expected to take questions on the congressional debt-ceiling negotiations, the economy, and the wars in Libya and Afghanistan. There will also almost certainly be questions about his re-election campaign.
Cuomo Riding Sky High Approval
A new Quinnipiac poll finds New Yorkers overwhelmingly approve of the job Gov. Andrew Cuomo is doing, 64% to 19%.
Cuomo’s approval rate is 53% to 26% among Republicans, 75% to 13% among Democrats, and 61% to 19% among independent voters.
Said pollster Maurice Carroll: “It’s up, up and away for super-Andrew after the close of the legislative session… Cuomo has the same economic problems as governors in other states polled by Quinnipiac University, but somehow he outscores them all.”
