New Yorkers Approve of de Blasio

Almost half of New Yorkers approve of Mayor de Blasio's performance thus far as mayor. A poll conducted showed that 49% of New Yorkers approved his performance verses 31% who disapproved it. The high level of support for him might be due to his strong effort to provide free prekindergarten, something that is being greatly appreciated by the city.

The poll wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for de Blasio though as the poll also states how 52% of New Yorkers were dissatisfied by de Blasio's efforts to address income inequality, and his efforts to make it easier for New Yorkers to find affordable housing, two things that were major priorities for him. But mainly the poll conducted shows that New Yorkers do have a great deal of support for de Blasio and approve of the job he is doing. 30% of residents polled thought that de Blasio actually cares about their needs and problem which was a lot higher of a percentage than Mayor Bloomberg. As his term continues I expect his support and approval ratings to increase dramatically if he can conduct successful resolutions about income inequality and affordable housing.
