According to the latest poll conducted by the Siena College Research Institute and released early Monday, Cuomo's favorability rating fell from 62 percent positive and 30 percent negative the week of Jan. 7-11 to 53 percent positive and 40 percent negative last week. Also, the number of registered New York voters happy with Cuomo's job performance also decreased, dropping from 50 percent positive and 48 percent negative in January to 45 percent positive and 53 percent negative.

Siena pollster Steven Greenberg said the governor's numbers took a hit with Democrats, Republicans and independents. Cuomo is running for a third term in November.
