ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A new poll shows two-thirds of New Yorkers don't think Attorney General Andrew Cuomo should be investigating the scandals that drove political rival Gov. David Paterson to end his election campaign.
The Siena College poll also finds that a majority of voters want Paterson to serve out his term, which ends in December.
Although the poll shows most would prefer an independent prosecutor, most also say they trust Cuomo to run a fair investigation.
Paterson faces allegations he had improper contact with a woman who accused one of his aides of domestic violence and that he illegally obtained free Yankees World Series tickets.
