A new survey conducted by the national polling firm Hart Research Associates shows that more than 90% of registered voters questioned across New York State are in favor of proposed new taxes on billionaires and ultra-millionaires, along with taxes on high-priced second homes.

According to the survey, voters believe that levying such taxes to avoid cuts in health, education and other services will strengthen New York State's economy. Nearly three-quarters of those surveyed said they would be more inclined to vote for candidates who supported such tax measures.
