Liz Bengamin of The Daily News writes today - “Today’s Siena poll finds a whopping 77 percent of New Yorkers are furious that the Senate - as the question was posed - “wasted more than a month of valuable time accomplishing nothing.”

(Well, when you put it that way, who wouldn’t be angry?)

Sixty-two percent of those polled said they believe most voters will remember the stalemate when all 62 senators come up for re-election next year, and 40 percent say they would vote for a major party challenger to their local lawmaker (assuming there was one) if the election were held today.

“Voters from every party and every region overwhelmingly reject the notion that it was good that Senators took the time to resolve their differences,” said Siena NY poll spokesman Steve Greenberg.

“Rather, there is real anger at senators - regardless of the voters’ party affiliation or region. Although voters have long demonstrated particularly short memories, most feel that their fellow voters will remember the Senate fight next November and a plurality are already prepared to vote out incumbent senators.”
