Title: NY-Quinnipiac: Gov. Cuomo (D) sets post 9/11 approval ratings record Post by: Tender Branson on May 30, 2012, 09:53:22 AM New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo gets a 71 - 16 percent approval rating today, the highest score for an Empire State governor since Gov. George Pataki hit 81 - 12 percent in the wake of 9/11, and continuing Gov. Cuomo's year-long trend with the highest approval rating of any governor in the seven states surveyed by the Quinnipiac University poll.
Voters support 79 - 18 percent, including 61 - 34 percent among Republicans, raising the minimum wage, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Cuomo's job approval is 68 - 20 percent among Republicans, 76 - 11 percent among Democrats and 69 - 19 percent among independent voters, 71 - 15 percent among Protestants, 71 - 18 percent among Catholics and 83 - 9 percent among Jews.

Cuomo might not be the most popular governor in the nation, but he's the most popular - Democrat or Republican - in the seven states surveyed by Quinnipiac University. For example, he's well-ahead of New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie's all-time best 59 - 36 percent. Cuomo tops that score among Republicans in New York State."

He definitely has the numbers to do it - hugely popular and successful Governor in a large blue-state. Only question is, will he basically be like his dad, "Hamlet on the Hudson" part 2? His dad was thought to be considering a run for the Presidency in 1988 and 1992, but never bit the bullet. If Andrew does run in '16, he'll definitely be top-tier, and will have a better shot at it than Biden, despite what polls say now. This is all presuming Hillary doesn't run (and she won't). The problem with a Cuomo run is that a lot of left-wing Democrats don't like him. I can easily see a left-wing alternative gaining momentum if he gets the nomination. Title: Re: NY-Quinnipiac: Gov.

This is all presuming Hillary doesn't run (and she won't). Hillary would be handed the nomination on a silver platter. And I don't think she'd be able to resist the temptation. Not a chance, her shot was in 2008. She's only got high approvals atm because she's basically stayed out of domestic politics since being made Secretary of State. The minute she tries to reinsert herself into domestic politics, her negatives will go back up. Also, many Democrats still haven't forgiven her for her race-baiting during the 2008 campaign. Additionally, ambitious Democrats such as O'Malley, Cuomo, Hickenlooper, etc. aren't just going to stand aside because a Clinton is running. Obama already proved that she is beatable and many Democrats will be more willing to publicly cross the Clintons than in 2008. Also, she is simply a very unlikable person and comes across as bullying, paranoid, arrogant, and ruthless when running against a strong opponent (there is a reason she is sometimes referred to as "Lady McBeth" :P). Plus, she seemed to be pretty much dead to the progressive/liberal wing of the Democratic party. Lastly, some of the groups that backed her in 2008 (Jewish voters, Hispanics, Southern whites, etc) probably wouldn't support her as strongly if she were to run in 2016 (for a variety of reasons).

Then the percentage of non-Christians in the country is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay higher than normally reported (per ARDA's data that would put Minnesota as 43% non-Christian for example when the last Pew survey has us as 14% (13% unaffiliated and 1% non-Christian religions). That's quite the discrepancy. Also if there are synagogues that are as sloppy at membership numbers keeping as many churches are those numbers could underestimate even the number of Jews affiliated with a synagogue (and it seems Reform synagogues would be more likely to do this than Orthodox.)

There are loads and loads of Reform and Conservative Jews who will go to synagogue on the High Holidays but not affiliate with the synagogue during the year - they wouldn't be on the rolls but still identify as Jewish. They don't have to affiliate with a temple to have a seder and eat matzo for Passover. They aren't secular and identify as Jews in their lives and presumably to pollsters. Of course, if you go to a Reform synagogue twice a year or every week, you're still not a real Jew by the standards of Orthodoxy. That's fine for religious beliefs—NY Jew can label several million people however he wants in his head and the heads of his community—but it doesn't apply to demographics and psephology.

Title: Re: NY-Quinnipiac: Gov. Cuomo (D) sets post 9/11 approval ratings record Post by: Mr. Morden on June 09, 2012, 10:14:20 PM Not a chance, her shot was in 2008. She's only got high approvals atm because she's basically stayed out of domestic politics since being made Secretary of State. The minute she tries to reinsert herself into domestic politics, her negatives will go back up. Also, many Democrats still haven't forgiven her for her race-baiting during the 2008 campaign. Additionally, ambitious Democrats such as O'Malley, Cuomo, Hickenlooper, etc. aren't just going to stand aside because a Clinton is running. Obama already proved that she is beatable and many Democrats will be more willing to publicly cross the Clintons than in 2008. Also, she is simply a very unlikable person and comes across as bullying, paranoid, arrogant, and ruthless when running against a strong opponent (there is a reason she is sometimes referred to as "Lady McBeth" :P). Plus, she seemed to be pretty much dead to the progressive/liberal wing of the Democratic party. Lastly, some of the groups that backed her in 2008 (Jewish voters, Hispanics, Southern whites, etc) probably wouldn't support her as strongly if she were to run in 2016 (for a variety of reasons). No way. Clinton is in a much stronger position than she was going into 2008. She's more popular with the general electorate, and she has an 86% favorability rating among Democrats. That isn't going to evaporate overnight if she gets back into domestic politics. Here's my take on why Clinton would basically clear the field if she runs (though I'm not certain that she's going to run): I do wonder what kind of non-establishment challengers we'd see. Would the most significant among them be traditional liberals (I'm struggling to think of a realistic example), or would they be of a different flavor (e.g. Schweitzer)? The template I would use is Gore vs. Bradley 2000, where the frontrunner (Gore in 2000; Clinton in 2016) is such an imposing frontrunner that he/she only gets one challenger of any consequence, who looks like he might have a chance at making something happen in either IA or NH early on, but ends up losing all 50 states to the frontrunner in the end. The challenger is someone who goes after the frontrunner from the left, and who's at a stage in his career where he doesn't really have anything to lose by running. (Don't know who that would be in 2016, but an obvious possibility would be Feingold.) My reasoning for why Clinton would be so much stronger in 2016 than she was in 2008 that she'd clear the field: 1) She's the most popular politician in the country at the moment. And that's with the general electorate. Among Democrats, she has a phenomenal 86% favorability rating: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/PPP_Release_National_417.pdf It's quite rare for candidates to begin a presidential campaign with numbers like that. Unless she does something to screw that up in her last year as SoS, she'll probably keep those numbers through 2014 and into 2015 when candidates have to start declaring for the 2016 primaries. 2) In 2006/7, there were quite a few qualms about HRC among pragmatic Dems who just wanted to win. (Many establishment Dems were urging Bayh and Warner to run, because they thought HRC was a sure loser.) She was seen as a polarizing figure who might not be able to win a general election. Those concerns have now evaporated because of reason #1. For that reason, I don't see any establishment competition for her in 2016. 3) In 2006/7, there was also quite a bit of suspicion and even outright hostility towards her from the liberal base of the party, because of her triangulation on various issues as a senator, and especially about the Iraq War vote. The Iraq War has faded as an issue now, and I doubt that'll be much of a factor in 2016. Also, many in the liberal base have been disillusioned by Obama anyway, so they'll probably end up just being more apathetic in 2016, not as easily able to get excited about a challenger to Clinton. 4) Among some Dems, there's a sense of "unfinished business" from 2008 about electing the first female president, and Clinton is the most obvious vehicle through which to do it in 2016. 5) People say that only the GOP ever nominates people who've run before, but it's rare that the runner up on the Democratic side comes as close to winning as Clinton did in 2008. The closest parallel would be Gary Hart in 1984, who would have actually been the prohibitive frontrunner in 1988 if he hadn't gotten himself in trouble re: Donna Rice. As long as Hillary doesn't have an affair with Clarence or something, she should be OK. Title: Re: NY-Quinnipiac: Gov.
