		<description><![CDATA[<p>"New York City voters disapprove 51 &ndash; 39 percent of the job Mayor Michael Bloomberg is doing, his lowest score since a 51 &ndash; 37 percent disapproval November 23, 2003" says Quinnipiac, in <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/50857705/031611-NYC-MAYOR-BP">a new poll</a>.</p>
<p>Quinnipiac:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Bloomberg has the lowest score of any citywide elected. Other officials score their highest approval ratings ever:</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>44 &ndash; 16 percent for Public Advocate Bill de Blasio;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>54 &ndash; 16 percent for City Comptroller John Liu;</p>
<p>55 &ndash; 25 percent for City Council Speaker Christine Quinn.</p>
<p>Police Commissioner Ray Kelly gets a 67 &ndash; 20 percent approval, including 57 &ndash; 27 percent among black voters. The new Schools Chancellor, Cathleen Black, gets a negative 17 &ndash; 49 percent approval rating, with 34 percent undecided."</p></blockquote>
<p>But there is a silver lining for the mayor:</p>
<blockquote><p>"New York City voters say 72 &ndash; 25 percent that where the mayor goes on weekends or vacations is a private matter and the public does not have a right to know. All groups support this opinion by large margins. This is little changed from an 80 &ndash; 18 percent finding on this question in a February 4, 2004, Quinnipiac University poll. The media should not follow the mayor and report on his time-off activity, New York City voters say 79 &ndash; 17 percent.
<p>"But when the mayor leaves the city, he should have to say who is in charge, voters say 84 &ndash; 13 percent. And voters say 72 &ndash; 26 percent that the mayor should report the whereabouts of the person left in charge of the city."</p>
