ALBANY — New Yorkers overwhelmingly support most of the proposals in
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's agenda for the year, according to a poll released
Monday by the Siena College Research Institute.
Siena surveyed registered voters last week on 14 policy items backed
by the governor, finding that voters backed 12 of them by significant
margins.
Nothing was more popular than his suggestion
that the state spend $2 billion on water infrastructure. The proposal
won the support of 89 percent of respondents, while 8 percent opposed
it. It was popular among all demographic and regional groups.
Cuomo's proposals to add “Buy American” preferences to state
procurement practices, legalize ride-hailing services throughout the
state, renovate John F. Kennedy International Airport, increase the
child care tax credit, limit lawmakers’ salaries, establish term limits
and cover the costs of many SUNY and CUNY students also enjoyed the
support of 60 percent or more of respondents.
