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.
