NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg in City Hall
A new Marist poll finds 58% of voters feel Bloomberg is doing either an excellent or good job in office while 40% say he is performing fairly well or poorly. Overall, 52% of voters think New York City is moving in the right direction, while 38% say the Big Apple is on the wrong path.
But when it comes to reelecting Bloomberg, 51% of voters say they would like new leadership at City Hall. Only 47% of voters would like to see Bloomberg win another term in office.
Nonetheless, New Yorkers are pessimistic about the chances of someone defeating Bloomberg in an open election. A full 73% of voters say that regardless of who they personally vote for, Bloomberg will win a reelection.
Racially, Bloomberg fares the best with white (68%) and Latino (64%) voters, but isn't as beloved by the African-American community, of which only 37% of voters feel as positively about their mayor.
