Gov. Kathy Hochul’s favorability and job approval ratings took an 8-percentage point plunge compared to last month, even though the majority of New Yorkers see her as hard-working, according to a new Siena College poll released Tuesday.

The survey, which includes 806 New York registered voters and was conducted between Feb. 12-14, gave Hochul a 41% to 46% favorability rating, which dropped from the 45% to 42% she received last month. Her job approval score came out to 48% to 47% — down from the 52% to 43% she got in January.
