    Democrats Close Enthusiasm Gap


    41% of registered voters are very enthusiastic about voting in Tuesday’s elections.
    Although Democrats enjoy a wide party enrollment advantage in New York State, up until
    now, Republicans were far more enthusiastic about voting than Democrats. But, that’s no
    longer the case. 46% of Republicans and 43% of Democrats currently have a high level of
    enthusiasm.
    In the previous Marist survey, 53% of Republicans were very enthusiastic about voting on
    Election Day to 39% for the Democrats.

    Key Findings:

    New York City and has a double-digit lead in the suburbs of New York City. Cuomo
    and Paladino are closely matched upstate. Cuomo also leads Paladino by more
    than two-to-one among women, but among men, the contest is tight.
     69% of those who are likely to vote in New York strongly support their choice of
    candidate. More Cuomo supporters -- 77% -- compared with Paladino backers --
    58% -- are firmly committed to their choice of candidate.
     Cuomo is viewed favorably by 57% of likely voters statewide while 38% perceive him
    unfavorably. Paladino is seen favorably by 31% of likely voters while 63% have a
    negative impression of him.
     73% of registered voters view Cuomo as fit to be governor. 21% do not. 32%
    perceive Paladino as fit to hold this office. 59% do not.
     Among all registered voters in New York, Cuomo takes 62% to Paladino’s 28%.
     58% of registered voters rate the job Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is doing in
    office as excellent or good.
     17% of registered voters in New York State view the job Governor David Paterson is
    doing in office as excellent or good. This matches Paterson’s lowest approval rating
    since he assumed office.
     78% of registered voters think the state is headed in the wrong direction.

    About The Marist Poll’s Methodology:


    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 turnout in comparable elections. In an effort to increase
    coverage, this land-line sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random
    dialing of cell phone numbers. The land-line and cell phone samples were then combined.

    Nature of the Sample: 805 New York State Registered Voters

    This survey of 805 New York State registered voters was conducted on October 26th through

    registration in each county in New York and adjusted for turnout in statewide elections.
    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 turnout in comparable elections. In an effort to increase coverage, this land-line
    sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of cell phone
    numbers. The land-line and cell phone samples were then combined. Results are statistically
    significant within ±3.5 percentage points. There are 415 likely voters. The results for this subset
    are statistically significant within ±5.0 percentage points. The error margin increases for cross-
    tabulations.
