Most importantly for Cuomo\u2019s political future, that number includes only 25% of self-identified Democrats. Six in ten (61%) Democrats and half (50%) of all New York voters think he should not resign.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Calls for the governor to resign erupted over the past few weeks as several<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/new-york-andrew-cuomo-6e3c286c9ccfde352fc7b15ae7be9f70\">&nbsp;<span>allegations<\/span><\/a> <span>of sexual misconduct have come to light. The number of accusers now stands at 7, including staffers working in the administration within the past year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The opinion of New York voters apparently stands in sharp contrast with the stances taken by their elected representatives. As of yesterday, 16 out of 19 New York House delegates have<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/12\/politics\/new-york-congress-cuomo-resignation\/index.html\"><span>called on Cuomo<\/span><\/a> <span>to resign over the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/new-york-andrew-cuomo-6e3c286c9ccfde352fc7b15ae7be9f70\"><span>allegations<\/span><\/a><span>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Reviewing the data, \u201cvoters appear to be able to compartmentalize how they feel about the governor,\u201d Siena spokesperson Steve Greenberg said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Voters\u2019 reticence on a Cuomo resignation is particularly noteworthy in light of Cuomo\u2019s sinking approval rating. The same poll found the governor underwater with overall approval, 43% to 45%, yet strikingly, a full 57% of voters feel \u201csatisfied with the way the governor addressed the allegations,\u201d versus just 32% who were \u201cnot satisfied\u201d.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In a press conference Friday, Cuomo emphatically stated that he is<\/span><span>&nbsp;\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-gov-andrew-cuomo-refuses-to-resign-questions-motivations-of-accusers\">not going to resign<\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople know the difference between playing politics, bowing to cancel culture and the truth. Let the review proceed. I am not going to resign. I was not elected by the politicians. I was elected by the people. Part of this is I am not part of the political club. And you know what? I\u2019m proud of it,\u201d Cuomo said.<\/p>\n<p><span>The other scandal affecting Cuomo\u2019s polling numbers involves recent revelations that his administration purposefully obfuscated data about thousands of preventable<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/11\/politics\/kfile-andrew-cuomo-nursing-home-timeline\/index.html\"><span>nursing home deaths<\/span><\/a> <span>this past year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The revelations are particularly stunning when contrasted with the fawning coverage Cuomo received at the height of the pandemic.

While voters have cooled substantially on the governor over the past few months, they reject the idea that elected officials must automatically resign in the wake of allegations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The slogan \u201cBelieve Women\u201d became a meme of hypocrisy when allegations against President Joe Biden were broadly dismissed during the final stages of the 2020 primary, and voters are weary of it. Many voters appear to be signaling that they reject haste in rushing to conclusions on such allegations. Despite the robust credibility of the allegations, most voters prefer to wait for an investigation, and ultimately they prefer to settle things at the ballot box.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
