A poll released Monday by the Siena College Research Institute found 87% of those surveyed approved of how the Democratic governor has handled the epidemic. The poll also found 76% liked the response of their local health department, 74% approval for Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and 41% for both President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

Overall, the number of New Yorkers who view the governor favorably surged to 71% this month, up from 44% in February, the poll found.

Poll spokesman Steven Greenberg said Mr. Cuomo was winning “near universal support.”

“At least 85% of voters from every region approve of his handling of the crisis, as do 95% of Democrats, 87% of independents and even 70% of Republicans,” Mr. Greenberg said.
