Half of New Yorkers say Cuomo shouldn't immediate resign: poll
By Max Greenwood - 03/15/21 11:49 AM EDT New York voters aren’t ready for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to resign just yet, despite calls from top state officials for him to step down in the face of multiple sexual misconduct allegations.
A new poll from Siena College found that 50 percent of voters in New York believe Cuomo should stay in office for now, while little more than one third – 35 percent – believe it's time for him to leave the governor’s mansion.
That’s not to say they don’t believe he’s guilty of any wrongdoing. Thirty-five percent of respondents said that they believe Cuomo has committed sexual harassment. Only 24 percent say that he has not.

But more than half of those surveyed – 57 percent – are satisfied with the way he has handled the allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple women, including former staffers.
