The candidate, Mark Green, the former New York City public advocate, was bolstered by a recent survey by NY1 and Newsday showing that while 27 percent of voters questioned backed Andrew M. Cuomo, 21 percent chose Mr. Green. But Mr. Green has long contended that his years as public advocate and as New York City's consumer affairs commissioner make him the best-qualified candidate, and that voters throughout the state will come to realize that. Over the last week, Mr. Green announced the endorsements of 32 current and former local officials from western and central New York.
