New York Governor Andrew Cuomo experienced a sharp drop in approval after pushing through tough new gun laws, according to a poll conducted by Quinnipiac University.
Cuomo, who last month had an all-time high job approval of 74 percent, saw that number drop to 59 percent.
The Quinnipiac poll also shows:
Voters in non-gun homes approve of the governor 68%-19%.
Voters in households with a gun disapprove 50%-40%.
Thirty-four percent of all voters say the gun-control package signed by Gov. Cuomo this month goes “too far” in restricting gun owners’ rights while 30 percent say it does not go far enough in protecting public safety.

Everyone knows Quinnepiac is a rightwing spin poll. Get real.

Cuomo the Homo signed more than an unconstitutional bill into law; he also signed his political career’s death warrant. He’ll never be re-elected.
"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich.

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E. Cupp, MSNBC Host and The Blaze Contributor
