NEW YORK — New York Gov. David Paterson said Friday that he plans to clear his name soon in two scandals threatening his administration but that constant media reports are turning the public against him.
“I think that people originally hearing about this thought the governor should be allowed to clear his name,” Paterson said. “But then there have been a number of more articles with unsourced information, rumors and innuendo and inaccurate information that when cobbled together over and over and over again certainly have an effect.”
A Quinnipiac University poll released Friday found that 46 percent of New Yorkers said Paterson should finish his term, while a survey released earlier in the week had that number at 61 percent.
