Mayor de Blasio's Poll Numbers Hit New Low

Grace Rauh

Mayor Bill de Blasio's poll numbers are taking a dive. He's suffered from weeks of bad headlines over investigations into his fundraising, and he's facing criticism for attempting to hide from the public emails he exchanged with outside advisors, a story first reported by NY1. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.

Mayor Bill de Blasio looks increasingly vulnerable. His poll numbers have hit a new low.

Just 41 percent of city voters approve of the job the mayor's doing and 52 percent disapprove, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll.

A NY1-Baruch College conducted in April as news was breaking about the federal investigation into the mayor's fundraising showed de Blasio's approval rating 7 points higher.

My point was that was not his doing. The BOE did that.

He had best look out for his people.

When I got my Voter ID, they asked if I wanted to register.I said I'm already registered. They didn't drop me from the rolls because I didn't check the box.
