A Quinnipiac survey released today has mostly good news for New York mayor Michael Bloomberg: City
voters approve 66% to 27% of the job Mayor Michael Bloomberg is doing, down from
a record high 75% to 20% in October. The mayor's approval rating has remained above the 70% for more than two years. In head-to-head match ups for next year's race, Bloomberg leads New York City Comptroller William Thompson by a margin of 49% to 34%, and
beats Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), 50% to 34%. That Bloomberg barely touches the 50% mark suggests that his reelection is not a foregone conclusion.
