Third Term Meltdown Watch: Staten Island Job Approval Ratings Lowest In City
And Staten Island is usually his wheelhouse:
Posted: September 13th, 2011 | Filed under: Insert Muted Trumpet's Sad Wah-Wah Here, Staten Island, Survey Says!/La Encuesta Dice!Citywide, Bloomberg had a 54 to 35 percent job approval rating, up from 45 to 43 on July 27, and his best showing since the Christmas blizzard, according to a poll from Quinnipiac University.
But on the Island, Bloomberg has only a 39 percent approval rating, with 56 percent of borough voters disapproving of his performance.
It was Bloomberg’s worst showing in the city.
It’s not the kind of reception Bloomberg is used to here. The borough put Bloomberg in office in 2001 and helped him stay there in 2009.
The Island result baffled Quinnipiac pollster Maurice Carroll.
“I don’t understand why Staten Island’s number is so low,” he told the Advance. “People like him out there.”
