Hochul's decision to pause congestion pricing has backfired, resulting in record-low approval ratings, diminishing MTA funding, and failing to bolster support for Democrats in critical races.
A Siena poll shows 54 percent of New Yorkers have an unfavorable view of Hochul, positioning her lower than Donald Trump, painting a dire picture of her political traction.
"In race after race, she's easily the most unpopular person, and the pause did nothing because no one was talking about congestion pricing anyway," highlights the disconnect between her actions and public sentiment.
Hochul's attempt to shore up support for Democratic candidates by nixed a signature achievement not only failed but resulted in political consequences that threaten her own position.
