Not surprisingly, a whopping 80% said they support term limits for the governor and legislators.
“Independent and unaffiliated New Yorkers, the second largest group of voters in the state, are clearly frustrated with the state of democracy in New York and the latest Voter Empowerment Index makes this face clear,” Unite NY Executive Director Tim Dunn said in a statement, referring to the bloc’s influence on the survey’s results.
A new poll show a majority of Empire State voters think the state is headed in the wrong direction politically — and 80% favor term limits for the governor and Albany lawmakers.Gov. Kathy Hochul’s approval rating plummeted to 40%, a 10% drop from just three months earlier, a new poll shows.“The path to winning back those voters lies in enacting reforms that have overwhelming, bipartisan support,” Dunn said. “I would encourage elected leaders from both parties to take this into account during the policymaking process, as this group is growing in both numbers and extreme dissatisfaction.” According to the results, upstate New Yorkers are strongest in their desire for an open primary process, or allowing non-party-affiliated residents to cast ballots in primaries.In addition, only 10% of voters polled thought the state was doing a good job of implementing election reforms compared to other US states, the survey found.
