“#Why Andrew Cuomo is falling on all fronts<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Suddenly, Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s popularity and power are plummeting.\u00a0But the fall has been building for months \u2014 and the sexual-harassment allegations that he\u2019s so focused on handling (badly) are just the latest stick on the bonfire.<\/p>\n

Consider the Emerson College poll findings: App<\/a>roval of his job performance is down from a stellar 71 percent last April to just 38 percent now, with a full 48 percent of New Yorkers disapproving.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Legislature is suddenly but rapidly moving to revoke most of his pandemic-emergency powers as soon as Friday.<\/p>\n

He knows he\u2019s in trouble: His extraordinary press conference Wednesday\u00a0featured little of the bluster and bombast that he used in the past to sidestep reporters\u2019 questions and lawmakers\u2019 demands. But, as we note elsewhere, he still bombed.<\/p>\n

He could legitimately claim that the harassment allegations remain just that \u2014 if he himself hadn\u2019t loudly insisted that due process wasn\u2019t necessary in past cases, from the dubious accusations against now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh and former Assemblyman Micah Kellner to the far more serious ones against late Assemblyman Vito Lopez and others.<\/p>\n

More important, his dodging and distraction on the nursing-home scandal no longer work: Emerson found a full 45 percent of voters say he should resign now over his deadly handling of that issue.<\/p>\n

His arbitrary use of his emergency powers \u2014 special low-capacity rules for city eateries only, setting bar- and restaurant-closing hours, insisting that even winery patrons order \u201csubstantial food\u201d and so on, all with zero basis in science<\/a> \u2014 also ate away at the public\u2019s trust.<\/p>\n

As for the Legislature: Cuomo\u2019s made a lot of enemies over the years, from his cynical and deceptive handling of pay raises to his hard-knuckle manipulation of factions in both parties to his regular outmaneuvering of the angry left.<\/p>\n

And now that he\u2019s wounded and bleeding, those enemies no longer fear him.<\/p>\n

To be clear, some of it is honest outrage. Republicans in the state Senate and Assembly have rightly been calling for investigations and\u00a0for \u201cheads to roll\u201d in the Cuomo administration\u00a0over the nursing-home fiasco, but now Democrats are cottoning to the depth of Team Cuomo\u2019s dissembling and coverup.<\/p>\n

Having his top aide tell Democratic legislators that it was all Trump\u2019s fault, when the coverup started long before Washington got involved, surely didn\u2019t help. Nor did his efforts first to browbeat and then to smear Assemblyman Ron Kim.<\/p>\n

Cuomo\u2019s tactics \u2014 rough-knuckle politics, Emmy-winning confidence as he pedaled utter lies, cynical use of punching bags from Trump to Mayor de Blasio \u2014 worked for years . . . but eventually everything gets old.<\/p>\n

There are many reasons old political hands talk about the \u201cthird term curse.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
