OBAMA APPROVAL IN NEW YORK CRASH DIVE, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; BUT VOTERS BACK PRES OVER UNNAMED GOP CHALLENGER
New York State voters disapprove 49 45 percent of the job President Obama is doing, a huge drop from his 57 38 percent approval June 29 and the first time the president ever has had a negative score in New York, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Democrats approve 75 19 percent, down from 82 12 percent in June. Disapproval is 86 10 percent among Republicans, compared to a 74 23 percent disapproval in June, and 58 36 percent among independent voters, compared to a slightly positive 49 45 percent in June, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Voters split 48 46 percent on whether President Obama deserves reelection and say 49 34 percent they would vote for him over an unnamed Republican. The debt ceiling hullaballoo devastated President Barack Obamas numbers even in true blue New York, said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. He just misses that magic 50 percent mark against a no-name Republican challenger. U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand gets a 49 27 percent approval rating, down from her alltime high 54 22 percent approval rating June 29. Senior Sen. Charles Schumer gets a 56 32 percent approval rating. From August 3 8, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,640 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones. The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia and the nation as a public service and for research.
