A new Emerson College poll in New York finds that 63% of New York voters think former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) should not re-enter public office, while 24% think he should and 14% are unsure.
However, if Cuomo does challenge Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) in the Democratic primary, a hypothetical ballot test shows him trailing Hochul just by four points, 37% to 33%, with 9% undecided and a combined 21% voting for other candidates.
