Since I haven't seen a NYC Mayor race thread other than this one, I'm going to post this new New York Daily News poll here.
Looks like barring some major reversal, Bloomberg is cruising to re-election.
61% approve, 29% disapprove
Against Ferrer: Bloomberg 50%, Ferrer 36%
Against Fields: Bloomberg 53%, Fields 32%
Against Weiner or Miller: They don't say the numbers, but he is ahead of both of them by at least 22% or more.

Mayor soars in poll
Despite Olympic bust, he leaves foes in dust

Mayor Bloomberg's approval rating is at its highest level since the early, honeymoon days of his mayoralty - giving him comfortable leads over all his Democratic rivals, a new Daily News poll shows.
The poll found that 61% of voters now approve of the job the Republican Bloomberg is doing, compared with just 29% who do not, according to the survey.
That's an almost complete reversal of fortune for Bloomberg since mid-2003, when mammoth budget deficits and an 18% property tax increase combined to turn a record two-thirds of New Yorkers against him.
The New York Times had a similar story and poll last month which showed Bloomberg with about 60% Approval. I'd add that his 2003 unpopularity was also influenced by the much hated smoking ban in bars and restaurants from April of that year.
I wonder why Gifford Miller isn't popular? I guess its because he is young still (in his 30's). Bloomberg should be re-elected because of the glorious decline in crime but on everything else I'd support Miller. (Not Ferrer or Fields)
