Half Prefer Senate to be Controlled by Coalition of Both Parties

Loudonville, NY. More than half of New York voters in describing the current State Senate situation say “this farce is an embarrassment,” including nearly two-thirds of the 58 percent of voters who have read or heard a great deal or some about the Senate leadership fight, according to a new Siena (College) Research Institute poll of registered voters. Nearly half of voters, including pluralities of Republicans and independents, want to see the Senate controlled by a coalition of both parties, rather than by Democrats or Republicans. By the largest margin ever, 63-24 percent, voters say New York is headed in the wrong direction.
