ALBANY — Too much church and state.
New York voters say the Catholic Church is too involved in politics, according to a new poll.
The Quinnipiac University survey found 43 percent saying Catholic Church leaders are too involved, with only 11 percent saying they’re not involved enough. Among Catholics, 33 percent say the church is too involved and only 17 percent not involved enough.
Voters also disapprove by 55-38 of Catholic lawsuits against President Obama’s contraceptive insurance coverage mandates — though Catholics narrowly approve, 51-45.
Democrats disapprove of Archbishop Timothy Cardinal Dolan’s leadership by 33-27 percent, though overall Dolan wins 38-25 approval, fueled by 59-11 percent thumbs up from Republicans.
