Bloomberg Still Very Strong for Re-Election
A new Quinnipiac poll shows New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s approval rating is 64% to 28% — still very high but his lowest score in his second term.
In general election match ups, Bloomberg tops William Thompson (D), 49% to 35%, and beats Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), 46% to 36%.
In a Democratic primary, Weiner tops Thompson, 30% to 23%, with 38% undecided.
