Cuomo is viewed favorably, 59 percent to 28 percent.

The Democrat, who is up for reelection in 2014, tops all his potential challengers by significant margins.

Trump has been fueling speculation about possibly mounting a Republican challenge to Cuomo but has said he will only do so if the New York GOP unites behind him.
