New Yorkers love their governor more than ever -- but they love the idea of increasing the minimum wage even more. While Gov. Cuomo got his highest approval rating ever in a Quinnipiac University poll, 71 percent, voters by 79-18 percent -- including by 61-34 percent among Republicans -- want the state to raise its minimum wage. Voters approve of the proposed legalization of Las Vegas-style casinos by 56-33 percent -- a marked increase in support from other recent polls, the Quinnipiac survey released today shows.
