The New York arm of MoveOn.org is polling its members to determine if they want to see a “progressive challenger” run against Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo this fall.

The left leaning organization sent out an email earlier today that cited a recent New York Times story laying out the unrest Cuomo is experiencing on his left and his efforts to mend fences with liberals ahead of the Working Families Party convention this coming weekend.

“We want to know where New York MoveOn members stand,” the email states. “This isn’t a formal endorsement vote – just a statewide membership survey to get a sense of what New York MoveOn members are thinking as a potential race shapes up.”

“…After we tally the responses, we’ll report back to MoveOn members across the state and share them with the media – so they know what progressives are thinking as the gubernatorial election gets under way.”

1. Thanks,

I had thrown my e-mail in the trash. Cuomo is much better than a RW alternative, but.

2. I tend to think Cuomo will do well but for a ny democrat he leaves a lot to be desired.
