Caroline Kennedy’s botched media blitz seems to be taking a toll on her popularity. Last month, she and state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo were tied with the support of 25% of New Yorkers in their bids to be New York's new senator. Now, a Marist poll has Cuomo at 40% and Kennedy stuck at 25%, CNN reports. Her once-high favorability rating has tumbled, too, from 60% to 46%. Of course, in this race, only one vote counts: that of Gov. David Paterson.
