Maybe The Question “Are You Very Interested, Somewhat Interested Or Merely Just Mildly Interested In Getting Something For Nothing?” Threw Them

Now that people know more, they’re wildly intrigued:

Opposition to congestion pricing has increased over the last month, and is fiercest in The Bronx, according to a poll released yesterday.

The Quinnipiac University poll reported that 57 percent of city voters now give a thumbs-down to Mayor Bloomberg’s plan to charge $8 a day to motorists to enter Manhattan below 86th Street on weekdays.

Only 36 percent support the proposal.

In a previous poll last month, the split between opponents and supporters was a closer 52-41 percent.

The only borough where the majority of residents stood with the mayor was Manhattan, 54-36 percent.

In every borough, however, congestion pricing took a heavy hit. Opposition reached 74 percent in The Bronx, 61 percent in Queens, 60 percent in Brooklyn and 56 percent on Staten Island.
