Last week, a Marist College poll found 20 percent of New York voters approved of Paterson’s performance as governor, a mark slightly lower than his 21 percent approval rating in June. Only 24 percent of Democrats felt he was doing well. Seventy percent of voters said Paterson isn’t a viable candidate for 2010, including 65 percent of Democrats....
You see, NO ONE is HAPPY with POLITICIANS these days -- no matter what the party!!
INCUMBENTS OUT!!!!!
