Support for Ms Berejiklian to stay in office was significantly higher amongst women (70 per cent), older people aged over 40 (70 per cent), and coalition voters (81 per cent).
"Despite the pandemic, and the recent revelations about Gladys Berejiklian's personal life, she retains the confidence of people in NSW," Ipsos Australia Public Affairs Director Jess Elgood said in a statement on Sunday.
"That said, her relationship with Daryl Maguire has damaged her reputation in the eyes of voters."
Some 71 per cent of those surveyed believed her reputation had been damaged "a great deal" or "a fair amount" by her long term relationship with Mr Maguire, who's at the centre of a state corruption inquiry, was revealed earlier this month.
The IPSOS survey, conducted for The Sydney Morning Herald, of 863 adults was taken between October 21 and 23.
