Bloomberg: Crime Stat Manipulations are "Tiny"
A new Quinnipiac poll shows that Mayor Bloomberg's approval rating has gone down to 66%, from January's 69%. While it's still a good rating, it is still the lowest rating of his second term (he had a 31% rating in 2003!) and Quinnipiac finds 55% of voters find him "cold and businesslike, not warm and friendly," a finding "consistent among blacks, whites and Hispanics, men and women and in all five boroughs." Quinnipiac's polling director Maurice Carroll explains, "New Yorkers don't warm up to Mayor Mike, but they give him high marks for doing his job." As for an election matchup, Bloomberg still beats both City Comptroller Bill Thompson and Rep. Anthony Weiner. Interestingly enough, Weiner, who signals he may not run for Mayor, has more support than Thompson among voters, but the campaigning really hasn't begun.

I'm always fascinated by that idea that "Bloomberg is a good manager". Its not true, and you can prove it with any number of statistics about food banks, homeless shelters, income disparity, departmental corruption in the city, middle-class disappearing --- yet people continue to repeat it. Then he baldly reverses himself on term limits and shoves it down everyone's throat --- and they keep saying "He's a good manager"
Very strange
Bloomberg and his lucky supporters can go fuck themselves...
Idiots don't become $16 billionaires. Bloomberg, ftw.
$16 billionaires don't make for good mayors.
Great pic. Heil!
Yes, he's such a money whiz and a great manager, that's why while the rest of the country suffers from a recession NYC is completely inured to the crisis.
Bloomberg is a piece of ego filled trash and the second the morons who (twice!! Truly inexcusable if you live in no-power-for-11-days-not-that-Mikey-gave-a-damn Queens) finally get it, we'll be rid of him. He really thinks we need him more than we needed Rudy 6 weeks after 9/11 - let's vote this ass out already, he's done us no favors.
He'll win again, guaranteed. Because he'll outspend his opponents and his ads will be on tv all the time and people will vote for him. Its depressing but its true.
Anyone who votes for him is an idiot that deserves exactly what they get. It just sucks for those of us with functioning brains who don't eat grass and live in meadows.
but he has to get on the republican ticket first.
