Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Paterson seeks to show he’s still in charge

The reaction reflected findings in a poll from Siena College released Monday, which found that 71 percent of those questioned thought he should be allowed to finish his term instead of being impeached if he doesn’t resign. Twenty-one percent said the Legislature should impeach him if he doesn’t step down, although Paterson hasn’t been charged with a crime. The rest didn’t know or had no opinion.
That comes even as Paterson has slipped to his lowest approval rating yet, at 21 percent, with 67 percent of those polled having an unfavorable opinion of him and 12 percent saying they didn’t know or had no opinion.
Paterson has already given up his bid for a full term but refused to give in to critics who want him to resign altogether. He became governor in 2008 after his predecessor, Eliot Spitzer, resigned in a prostitution scandal.
