ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Another poll says Gov. Andrew Cuomo's popularity is sagging amid New York City's transit troubles.
Tuesday's Siena College poll found that 52 percent of respondents gave the Democratic governor an overall favorable rating, down from 61 percent two months ago.
Just 43 percent rated Cuomo's performance as excellent or good, with 55 percent rating it as fair or poor.
When asked about transit, 59 percent of respondents gave Cuomo poor or fair marks for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, with only 26 percent rating his handling of the MTA as excellent or good.
It's the second recent survey suggesting New Yorkers blame Cuomo for a series of transit breakdowns and delays. The July 9-13 telephone survey of 793 registered voters has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
Meantime, a new filing indicates Cuomo has raised more than $5.1 million for his bid for a third term. The latest haul was included in newly filed campaign finance reports for the Democratic governor.
Cuomo has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2020 but he says he is focused on running for re-election in 2018.
Cuomo's campaign says that when the new contributions are included their candidate has almost $25.7 million on hand.
Cuomo was first elected in 2010. He served as state Attorney General before that.
