Does the Sun know something the rest of New York doesn’t? Ten percent is impressive, but not nearly even Ross Perot numbers<\/a>:<\/p>\n

As he prepares for a national run, Mayor Bloomberg is more popular than ever at home.<\/p>\n

A poll released yesterday by Marist College and WNBC found that a record-breaking 66% of New Yorkers think he is doing a good or excellent job.<\/p>\n

Another poll predicted that a Bloomberg run for president in a three-way race with Senator Clinton and Mayor Giuliani would benefit the former first lady in the battleground state of Ohio.<\/p>\n

The Quinnipiac University poll found that in a two-way contest, 44% of Ohio voters would choose Mrs. Clinton and 42% would pick Mr. Giuliani. Add Mr. Bloomberg, and Mrs. Clinton widens her lead — 40% would pick Mrs. Clinton, 35% would pick Mr. Giuliani, and 10% would pick Mr. Bloomberg.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To compare, Ross Perot got 19 percent of the popular vote in 1992, and in June of 1992, opinion polls had him at 39 percent<\/a>. Maybe Romney will help (though I hear Big Love<\/a> is really good this season). (Fred Thompson will probably not help — and his New York credentials<\/a> are secure!)<\/p>\n

In other news, Hizzoner seems serious about this congestion pricing thing<\/a>. Or maybe he knows something the rest of New York just assumes:<\/p>\n

Governor Spitzer seemed to take a swipe at Mayor Bloomberg yesterday for jetting to a conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, rather than using the final days before a federal deadline to convince Albany lawmakers to support his plan to charge drivers to enter certain parts of Manhattan.<\/p>\n

“I hear the congestion in Sun Valley . . . is tougher than the congestion in Manhattan right now,” Mr. Spitzer told reporters in Washington. “But I think Mike is going to get involved between now and Monday, working with us to see what we can do.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
