Siena poll data: NY Governor race is a Toss up

Siena college released today a poll that shows Cuomo leading over Paladino with 25 points, 58-33, showing Cuomo lose 5% , and Paladino gaining 7% since last weeks poll.

But whats interesting in this poll is, that there are Mixing results in the poll data: 46% of New Yorkers have a unfavorable view on Obama,to 51% that have a favorable opinion of president Obama, 89% of those that view Obama unfavorable say they will vote for Carl Paladino, (that's 41% Of the vote), from those that have a favorable view of Obama 21% intend to vote for Paladino (that's another 10%), adding it up, it shows actually Carl Paladino leading the race with 51% , to 48% for Cuomo.

Hi. I don't quite get the logic here; or, maybe I get the logic, but just assume the whole poll is absurd.
