Three out of four New York voters disapprove of the state Legislature’s performance, and a majority said they want new local lawmakers to be elected on Nov. 2, a Quinnipiac University poll said.
By 75 percent to 15 percent, voters disapproved of the Legislature’s job performance, consistent with a June survey’s 76 percent to 16 percent results, the most negative in the poll’s 20-year history. Respondents said this month that their state senator should be ousted, 55 percent to 31 percent who support their local lawmaker, and 53 percent said their assembly member should go, to 33 percent who favored the incumbent.
