Bloomberg Has 71% Approval Rating

2008_07_bloogui.jpgNew poll numbers from Quinnipiac University show the city likes Mike, as he has a 71% approval rating (back in 2003, he had 31%!). The Sun reports 56% of respondents don't want term limits to be overturned (allowing Bloomberg to run), but Bloomberg's name topped the list of who NYers would want to see as mayor--followed by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, Brooklyn Beep Marty Markowitz, Representative Anthony Weiner and, tying for the fifth position, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and City Comptroller William Thompson. However, a Siena College poll finds that Rudy Giuliani would be more popular than Bloomberg if they ran against each other for governor. Don't worry, Governor Paterson--you'd beat Giuliani in a hypothetical matchup!
