Poll: Bloomberg and Giuliani Top Paterson for 2010

Also, the poll found that 64 percent of voters favored Paterson’s decision to force state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages performed outside New York, but another 55 percent said it was something the legislature, not the governor, should have handled.
