CITY BUDGET WOES PUSH BLOOMBERG APPROVAL DOWN,

QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY NEW YORK CITY POLL FINDS;
VOTERS WANT TERM LIMITS 3-1, OPPOSE NON-PARTY ELECTIONS
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gets a 47 – 44 percent approval rating for the way he
is handling the city budget, pulling his overall approval rating down to 57 – 29 percent, his
lowest grade in five years, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
This compares to a 61 – 27 percent approval for Mayor Bloomberg in a March 23 survey
and is still higher than the approval rating for most governors in states polled by the independent
Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.
New York City voters favor term limits for elected officials 71 – 23 percent. Asked
another way, 57 percent of voters say officials should be limited to two terms; 16 percent set the
limit at three terms; 5 percent at four terms and 19 percent for no term limits.
If Bloomberg were to seek a fourth term, New York City voters say 59 – 30 percent that
they would not vote for him. Republicans would vote for Bloomberg 52 – 38 percent, but a
fourth term is opposed 63 – 26 percent by Democrats and 59 – 31 percent by independent voters.
“Term limits still win 3-1 approval from city voters. Except for Republicans, New
Yorkers turn thumbs down on a fourth term for Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but the depth of their
opposition has shrunk a trifle since we last asked in March,” said Maurice Carroll, director of the
Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
“Bloomberg's job-approval is over 50 percent, at a level most politicians would wallow in
during this anti-incumbent storm, but it’s way down from the heady 70-plus heights the Mayor
enjoyed before he ran for a third term.”
Voters oppose 51 – 41 percent a proposal to eliminate political party labels for candidates
in New York City elections. Democrats and Republicans oppose the no-label idea, but
independent voters support it 61 – 33 percent.

“Political party power has shriveled over the years, but New Yorkers still prefer seeing
party lines on the ballot. They reject Mayor Bloomberg’s idea – which could turn up in the next
charter-change referendum – of having non-partisan elections,” Carroll said.
New York City Budget
A total of 90 percent of New York City voters say the city’s budget problems are “very
serious” or “somewhat serious.”
Voters prefer raising taxes over cutting city services 45 – 40 percent, with 42 percent
preferring a sales tax hike, followed by 24 percent for hiking the income tax and 21 percent for
hiking property taxes.
No layoffs for city workers, voters say 63 – 32 percent, but they do support furloughs for
city workers 50 – 41 percent.
New York City voters support 60 – 35 percent a wage freeze for city workers, with strong
support across the political spectrum and among black and white voters.
By large margins, voters oppose every suggested city service cut:
• 88 – 10 percent against closing some firehouses;
• 80 – 17 percent against closing some senior centers;
• 69 – 30 percent against reducing garbage collection;
• 71 – 26 percent against increasing public school class size;
• 55 – 43 percent against reducing library hours;
• 53 – 45 percent against reducing street cleaning.
“Hardly anyone doubts that the city is in tough fiscal shape. But New Yorkers don’t like
any of the budget-balancing cuts that have been talked about,” Carroll said.
“The exception: A squeeze on city workers. Voters accept the idea of a wage freeze, or
even furloughs.”
From May 17 – 19, Quinnipiac University surveyed 797 New York City registered
voters, with a margin of error of +/- 3.5 percentage points.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public
opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio and
nationwide as a public service and for research.
