Poll: No Fourth Term For Bloomberg

2008_10_mayorb30.jpg

Although he still has an approval rating of over 60 percent, New Yorkers don't want Mayor Bloomberg to run for a fourth term, according to a new study. A Qunnipiac poll revealed that despite the Mayor's popularity, 58 percent of voters say they won't cast a ballot for him if he tries to run again.

The report found that 22 percent of New Yorkers pledged to support Bloomberg, 7 percent were undecided, and 13 percent said it depends on who else runs. Coming after Bloomberg's narrow third-term victory, the results of the study aren't really much of a surprise. But that doesn't mean the Mayor isn't considering a pursuing a fourth term. He's already alluded to the concept several times, and earlier this month he appointed a panel to revise the city charter and study term limits. According to the Daily News, that committee could restore two-term limits or eliminate term limits altogether.

    You were bowling, Bloomberg was there and a game of a Whack-A-Troll didn't break out? The pussification of NYers is so sad.

  • unretrofiedforu

    Yeah you would; last time my band played a show there games were like $23 each? Yeah I'll pass.

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    Mainstream Media is owed by Corporate Evils such as Bloomberg.

  • etypical

    yeah, yeah, I believed my fellow NYCers the first 3x they swore they hated him and/or wouldn't vote for him. At this point, I think there is no position/office some idiots wouldn't elect this guy into. Because he's rich and if you vote for him you will be too! (be even dumber people, really).

  • JenChungsBaby

    It depends on who he runs against, if he runs. If it's the typical NYC democratic mix of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe then he could win again.
