New Yorkers Not Yet Sold On Kennedy

By DAVID HERBERT

Caroline Kennedy isn't gaining much traction among New Yorkers in her bid for Secretary of State-designate Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate seat, according to a Quinnipiac Institute poll released today. She's also getting some stiff competition from another member of a political dynasty: Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo. But in a one-vote race, New Yorkers believe by a 2-1 margin that Gov. David Paterson will tap Kennedy to represent the Empire State.

Kennedy was an early supporter of President-elect Barack Obama, hitting the campaign trail for him during the primaries and general election and serving as a co-chair on his vice presidential search committee.
