By an overwhelming 84 to 13 percent, New York State voters say elected officials should be required to disclose the source and amount of income from outside jobs and investments, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Friday.

By a smaller but still substantial 64 to 32 percent, voters say spouses and live-in partners of elected officials also should be required to disclose the source and size of income, the independent Quinnipiac University Poll finds.

Voters back 45 to 40 percent Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s threat to delay passage of the state budget to force legislators to enact ethics reform.

A total of 89 percent of New York State voters say government corruption is a “very serious” or “somewhat serious” problem in the state today.

But voters oppose 54 to 37 percent public financing of campaigns for governor, other statewide offices and the state Legislature. There is a gender gap, with men opposed 50 to 45 percent and women opposed 58 to 30 percent.

“Follow the money, New Yorkers say. Overwhelmingly, they want legislators to tell how much they earn. Legislators say spouses and companions of government folks should have to tell all, too. Voters agree,” said Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

“Voters say, almost unanimously, that corruption remains a serious Albany problem. They don’t think Gov. Andrew Cuomo is doing a good job combating it. He’s part of the problem, more voters say,” Carroll said.

4 to 35 percent of the way Gov. Cuomo is handling ethics in government.

A total of 41 percent of voters say the governor is doing an “excellent” or “good” job cleaning up ethics in government while 51 percent say “not so good” or “poor.”

In fact, 47 percent of voters told pollsters Cuomo is part of the problem with ethics in government while 41 percent say he is part of the solution.

By a strong 76 to 18 percent margin, voters say elected state officials who are convicted of a felony should lose their pensions. Support for this idea is strong across party, gender, age and regional groups, according to the pollsters.

State legislators should serve full time, with a higher salary and no outside employment, 57 percent of voters say, while 33 percent say legislators should serve part time, collecting a lower salary but allowed to accept outside employment.

"New Yorkers think a full-time State Legislature would be a good idea," Carroll said.

Voters disapprove 62 to 23 percent of the job the state Legislature is doing, compared to a 55 to 28 percent disapproval in a Dec. 22 poll.

From March 11 to 16, Quinnipiac surveyed 1,228 New York State voters with a margin of error of plus-or-minus 2.8 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones for the surveys.
