Most New York voters say cost of living is out of control — even Dems and Republicans agree: poll

Two-thirds of New York voters are fed up with the cost of living, saying it’s gotten harder to make ends meet, a new survey released Tuesday found.

The Siena College poll, which found that Gov. Kathy Hochul’s approval rating has dipped again, asked more than 800 voters if they believed that New York was heading the wrong direction — and 67% said it was.

The dire forecast cut across partisan lines, with of 59% Democrats, 79% of Republicans, and 71% of independent or non-party-affiliated voters polled agreeing that the state is taking a bite out of their wallets.
