*** Complete Tables for Poll Appended *** Contact: Lee M. Miringoff Barbara L. Carvalho Jaime Lynne Bishop Marist College 845.575.5050

The Wall Street Journal/NBC New York/Marist Poll Reports: A slim majority of New York State registered voters -- 51% -- thinks the states economy is staying about the same, but nearly three in ten -- 29% -- say it is getting worse. 21% think the economy is improving, a slight uptick from about two months ago. Although New Yorkers still see a sluggish state economy, they dont think Governor Cuomo is to blame, says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. By more than four to one, voters believe the economic condition of the state is something the governor inherited not the result of his policies. In fact, a majority think the state is headed in the right direction. When The Wall Street Journal/NBC New York/Marist Poll last reported this question in early March, a majority -- 53% -- perceived the economy as status quo. 29% thought it was getting worse while 18% said it was getting better. Voters believe the current economic conditions in New York are something that Governor Cuomo inherited and not a result of his own policies. 74% of registered voters statewide agree the states economic difficulties existed when Governor Cuomo assumed office, and only 17% believe the conditions are a result of his policies. Nine percent are unsure. The view that Cuomo inherited the economic conditions of the state extends across political party lines. 77% of Democrats, 72% of Republicans, and 75% of non-enrolled voters share this opinion.

A majority of voters -- 53% -- believes the state is moving in the right direction. 41% think it is moving in the wrong one, and 6% are unsure. Nearly two months ago, 51% of registered voters statewide said the state was moving in the right direction, and 44% said it was going in the wrong one. Four percent were unsure at that time. Do New York voters think the Empire State is still in a recession? Almost six in ten -- 58% -do while 39% do not. Three percent are unsure. There has been a slight decrease in the proportion of voters who say the state is in a recession. In March, 61% thought New York was in a recession while 35% did not characterize the state in this way. Four percent, at that time, were unsure. This is the lowest proportion of voters who believe the states economy is in a recession since before the spring of 2008. Cuomo Approval Rating Holds Steady A majority of registered voters in New York State -- 54% -- approve of the job Governor Cuomo is doing in office. This includes 12% who think he is doing an excellent job and 42% who believe Cuomo is doing a good job as governor. Another 27% give Mr. Cuomo a fair rating and 14% give him a poor one. Five percent are unsure. When The Wall Street Journal/NBC New York/Marist Poll last reported this question, in early March, 12% of registered voters said Cuomo was doing an excellent job, and 44% said he was doing a good one. At that time, 27% rated his job as fair, 13% thought his performance was poor, and 5% were unsure. By region: Governor Cuomos approval rating is steady among upstate registered voters. Currently 48% approve of his job in office. 49% approved in March. His approval rating is also little changed in New York City. 58% currently approve of his job performance, and 60% of registered voters reported the same in March. In the citys suburbs, 59% approve. In March, 60% of registered voters approved of the job he was doing in office.

However, he is steady with non-enrolled voters. 46% give him high marks, the same proportion that did almost two months ago. Mr. Cuomos approval is 66% among registered Democrats, similar to 67% in March.

New Yorkers have consistently expressed favorable views of Governor Cuomo. Almost twothirds of registered voters in New York State -- 65% -- have a positive opinion of the governor. 27% view him negatively, and 8% are unsure. The Wall Street Journal/NBC New York/Marist Poll reported similar numbers in early March. At that time 66% viewed Governor Cuomo favorably, 25% viewed him negatively, and 9% were unsure. Among Democrats, this rating is steady. There has been some shifting among Republicans and non-enrolled voters. By Party: 79% of Democrats view Governor Cuomo favorably, while 77% did so in March. Among non-enrolled voters, the governors favorability rating has risen from 55% in March to 62% now. Cuomos favorability among Republicans continues to slide. Just under half of Republican voters statewide -- 46% -- view him favorably, whereas 60% did in March. Majority Approve of Cuomos Handling of the Budget 54% of registered voters in New York State approve of how the governor is handling the state budget. 34% disapprove, and 12% are unsure. These numbers are mostly unchanged since March when 55% of voters approved of Governor Cuomos budget handling, 36% disapproved, and 9% were unsure. Governor Cuomos Re-election Prospects If Governor Cuomo runs for re-election in 2014, right now 47% of registered voters would cast their ballot for him. 25% think they would vote against the incumbent governor, and 15% say it depends on who runs against him. 13% are unsure. Should the governor seek re-election, he starts with a base of support of nearly half the electorate, says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. That makes for an uphill fight for anyone looking to replace him next year. The governors support is strongest in New York City where a majority -- 57% -- would vote to re-elect him. About half of voters in the citys suburbs -- 51% -- would cast their ballot to give Governor Cuomo a second term. The governors support is weakest upstate. There, 39% of voters say they are ready to re-elect the governor while 33% say they would vote against him.

How the Survey was Conducted

Nature of the Sample: The Wall Street Journal/NBC New York/Marist Poll New York State Survey of 1,129 Adults This survey of 1,129 adults was conducted April 16th through April 18th, 2013. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in the state of New York were interviewed by telephone. Telephone numbers were selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the state. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each region was represented in proportion to its population. To increase coverage, this landline sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of cell phone numbers. The two samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2010 Census results for age, gender, income, race, and region. Results for adults are statistically significant within 2.9 percentage points. There are 956 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within 3.2 percentage points. The sample of registered voters was adjusted for turnout in statewide elections. The error margin increases for cross-tabulations.
