Percentage of voters who told pollsters for the New York Times they planned to vote for GOP-tea bagger candidate Carl Paladino for governor, compared with 59 percent who said they would vote for Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. About Paladino, just 11 percent had a favorable view of the upstate real estate mogul, and when asked to say a word that came to mind when hearing Paladino’s name, voters said things like “angry,” “bigoted” and “obnoxious.” (And remember, these are New Yorkers talking.) Finally, 59 percent said Paladino did not have the right temperament and personality for the job, and 55 percent said he didn’t have proper experience.
One thought on “NY Gov: New Yorkers to Tea Bagger Paladino, ‘Drop Dead’”
Paladino is the perfect example of a Tea Party candidate. I can see him throwing a hissy fit in the governor’s office if the state legislature overrode one of his vetoes.
Yep, he has such un-endearing qualities about him. LOL
From Trump’s “stolen election” lies, we can’t get no relief,
He carps on about stolen votes, but he never names the thief.
Somebody needs to tell this guy
Americans aren’t buying his lies,
And that he’s turned us into the United States of Disbelief.
“If you are committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and throw you in prison for enriching yourself off the American taxpayer.”
“We are done, Americans are done with endless conflict in the Middle East, spending trillions of dollars, American lives… this is insane and we have to call it for what it is.”
“The U.S. State Department announced on Monday that it has revoked more than 175,000 visas during President Donald Trump’s administration so far,” Fox News reports.
President Donald Trump is asking for $1,500,000 million for the military for next year. That’s close to $600 billion (adjusted for inflation) more than we were spending on the military in fiscal year 2025, before Trump took office, Alternet reports. This increase is huge by any measure. It comes to around $4,600 per household. It is around 8% of the total budget.
A new Emerson College survey of likely 2026 voters finds the Democrats with an 11-point advantage over the Republicans on the generic congressional ballot, leading 53% to 42%. President Trump holds a 39% job approval rating, consistent with the past two months, whereas his disapproval increased another point, to 57%.
A new American Research Group poll finds just 30% of Americans say they approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president and 67% say they disapprove.
Wall Street Journal: “Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election said the economy was their top issue, far outstripping any other matter. And those voters favored Donald Trump by 60% to 38%. Many say they were moved by his pledges to tame inflation, rebuild U.S. infrastructure, cut red tape and trim government waste. … About a year and a half later, more voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy than approve, 61% to 35%, an average of polls by the Cook Political Report found this month.”
Paladino is the perfect example of a Tea Party candidate. I can see him throwing a hissy fit in the governor’s office if the state legislature overrode one of his vetoes.
