NEW YORK — Democrats, independents and Republicans all agree — Rep. George Santos has got to go.
A new poll found that 66 percent of New York voters across the state believe the Long Island Republican should resign from Congress, according to the Siena College Research Institute Survey. That's up from 59 percent last month.
While 72 percent of Democrats want him out of office, so do 63 percent of independents and 58 percent of Republicans.
“The ‘good’ news for Santos is that even in these hyper partisan times, he’s found a way to get Democrats, Republicans and independents to agree about a political figure. The bad news for Santos is that the political figure they agree on is him, and they overwhelmingly view him unfavorably,” said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg.
Voters also dislike Santos. Some 64 percent of them view him unfavorably, up from 56 percent in January.
He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in a Long Island swing district last November based on a largely fabricated résumé. He's facing investigations by state, federal and international agencies on a range of potential crimes from campaign finance violations to pet charity fraud.
Santos insists he merely embellished his résumé and never broke any laws.
