While the mayor's allies have steadfastly defended his record, de Blasio's sudden losing streak has taken a toll, sending his poll numbers plunging.
"He should be very worried," said Kenneth Sherrill, professor emeritus of political science at Hunter College. "He's in some trouble and you can't just say, 'In two years I'll be fine.'"

My Way News - New York City's mayor fighting bad ol' days perception

I wonder if Christine Quinn will jump back in the primary next time around and attempt a come back. She always stuck me as being more suited for the job, like a female Laguardia or even a Giuliani. Doubt she would have thrown temper tantrums against the governor if she didn't get her way.

Many of us here called it way before De Bozo took office that he was a total POS. Glad his polls declining and REALLY hope he is a one-term Mayor.

It takes time to change things in the city from a political standpoint. Bloomberg affects are still lingering around such as gentrification, growing inequality and lack of affordable housing. Also NYC has had a huge homeless problem in the past decade including Bloomberg administration. The main big issues in NYC are housing, education and transportation. None of these nuances can not be fixed by the city or state and seriously needs heavy federal funding from congress who has to vote on earmarking grants to NYC.

Me personally a liberal like Christine Quinn would have just added 4 more years of Bloombergian Mayoralship. Hell I'm glad Christine Quinn loss her bid to run for mayor, only the UES and East Village supported her campaign. I don't personally think she would have done a good job and nowhere near Populist LaGuardia or moderate Guliani.

I'd take a 4th term of Bloomberg than this POS we have now in a heartbeat!

This is based on a university poll, therefore including only those people who answered the phone and/or participated. The poll takers called people two or three times and asked opinions.

As is the case with teaching "reviews" and similar, it is most often only the disgruntled who respond.

Obviously, you do not understand that de Blasio is magical. He has magic powers.

He was able to absolutely change everything everywhere in just a few short months.

Good but unfortunately he'll probably be re-elected.

So it's still all Bloomberg's fault? How long do we have to wait before De Bozo starts taking a little responsibility? Not only is the city as unaffordable as ever, but now the parks are getting icky and there are skivvy people all over the sidewalks wherever you look. Rag on Quinn all you want, but she is loud, and wouldn't put up with all this nonsense. She would also have a much better relationship with the state government which would benefit the city.

Bloomberg also did not get along well with the governor either.
