A majority of New Yorkers say Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) should not run for office again, a Siena College poll out Thursday indicates.

Cuomo has denied wrongdoing.

By the numbers: 39% of respondents said Cuomo should finish out his term but not run again, while 23% said he should resign immediately.

33% said Cuomo should run for re-election.
45% of voters surveyed said the New York state Assembly should not vote to impeach the governor, while 35% support impeachment.

Methodology: Siena College Research Institute polled 809 voters between June 22 and June 29. The poll has an overall margin of error of +/- 4.1 points.
