Since I commented on a poll that showed New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's approval rating dropping to 54% recently, it's worth noting that the same pollster, Marist, now has him bouncing back to 61%.
Equally importantly, Marist is the latest pollster to show that despite Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy's good profile -- suburban officeholder, former Democrat -- he doesn't appear to have much of an opening against Cuomo in the governor's race.
In many states, being the top elected official in a county of 1.5 million people would make you one of the most promising statewide aspirants around. In New York, that leaves Levy unknown to a large majority of his state's residents.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
