The latest Siena College poll shows Gov. Andrew Cuomo holding big leads over two potential Republican challengers as the Democrat seeks a third term in office. But hopes might be too low for Cynthia. Democrats overwhelmingly favor Cuomo over a potential primary challenger, actress Cynthia Nixon, by 66 percent to 19 percent.
