Reports now say New York Governor Eliot Spitzer will announce his resignation at 11 am ET today; some reports say the resignation will take effect Monday.

As soon as the announcement is officially made, SurveyUSA will start asking New York adults:

1. New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has announced he will resign. Was this the right decision or the wrong decision?
2. Based on what you know, should Spitzer be charged with a crime? Or not?
3. Is your impression of David Paterson favorable, unfavorable, neutral, or do you have no impression of David Paterson?

Results are now in:
