HIGHLIGHTS

• David Paterson would lose the Democratic primary to Andrew Cuomo 72% to 21%.
• Giuliani would win the Republican primary 84% to 13%.
• Facing off, Cuomo would beat Giuliani 53% to 43%. But Giuliani would win the Senate if he ran for it.

Here is a link to the complete Marist poll.

• David Paterson would lose the Democratic primary to Andrew Cuomo 72% to 21%.
• Giuliani would win the Republican primary 84% to 13%.
• Facing off, Cuomo would beat Giuliani 53% to 43%.

Giuliani would likely lose the Governor race so he should instead focus his attention on running for Senate. If he does face off against Kirsten Gillibrand, he would win 54% to 40%.

Gillibrand is very vulnerable as per Marist:

Ten months after Kirsten Gillibrand was appointed to the U.S. Senate by Governor David Paterson, the junior senator from New York has failed to become a household name among registered voters in New York State. 25% of the electorate thinks Gillibrand is doing either an excellent or good job in office, and 12% believes she is performing poorly. Perhaps, though, Gillibrand’s bigger concern is that 24% of the electorate is unsure how to rate her. Voters’ perceptions of Gillibrand’s job performance have changed little since Marist last asked this question in mid-September.
