This Is Why The White House Wants David Paterson To Drop Out

Bad news for New York’s 55th Governor in the latest Sienna Poll:

While Paterson trails Giuliani significantly and barely beats Rick Lazio, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has a solid lead over Giuliani and crushes Lazio by 46 points, including a five point lead among Republicans,” Greenberg said. “Cuomo continues to enjoy a better than three-to-one lead over Paterson in a hypothetical Democratic primary, including double digit leads among African American and Latino Democrats.

Here are the numbers:

Democratic Primary:

Andrew Cuomo — 66%
David Paterson — 20%

General Election:

Rudy Giuliani — 52%
David Paterson — 35%

Andrew Cuomo — 52%
Rudy Giuliani — 39%

David Paterson — 39%
Rick Lazio — 35%

Andrew Cuomo — 64%
Rick Lazio 18%

That’s pretty simple, isn’t it ?

Paterson’s toast, and New Yorkers may as well get used to saying “Governor Cuomo” again.
