It's official now. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will have a celebrity opponent when he runs for re-election in the state's Democratic primary. The challenger is actress Cynthia Nixon (best known for playing Miranda on the TV show "Sex and the City").
However, in spite of her TV fame, most voters don't really know Ms. Nixon. And a new poll shows she is far behind Cuomo. She trails him among all Democrats by a whopping 45 points (Cuomo 63% - Nixon 18%). She's got a lot of ground to make up, and only three months to do it. The primary for New York is on June 26th this year.
The numbers in the charts above are from a new Siena College Poll -- done between March 11th and 16th of a random sample of 772 registered voters in New York. The margin of error is 4 points. Only the 47% that were Democrats were polled for these charts.
