Bill de Blasio and Andrew Cuomo have something in common: Their approval ratings have hit personal lows.
Only 44% of New Yorkers approve of the way Mr. de Blasio is handling his job, down from 49% in January, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday. Forty percent say they disapprove of Mr. de Blasio's job performance.
The poll's respondents are divided over Mr. de Blasio's foray into national politics: 46% said they thought it was "distracting," while 42% said it wasn't. Twelve percent had no opinion.
Quinnipiac University surveyed 969 New York City voters from May 6 through May 11, with a margin of error of 3.2 percentage points.
The seemingly endless stream of corruption scandals in Albany have taken their toll on Mr. Cuomo's approval rating, even though they have all involved the legislature, not the governor. According to a Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released Tuesday, his job performance rating has slipped to 37%, the lowest point since he was first elected in 2011.

44,% is enough for DiBlasio to think he is the next POTUS
His acceptance speech is all ready in his pocket.
They are both idiots. What do you expect?
Two of the dumbest and most arrogant men running the most influential state in the US.
That number is bullshit - it just represents 44% of people polled And BTW - 969 is not truly representative of NYC - and where do they live and how much do they make?
I have yet to meet a single person that thinks highly of the man or his staffing decisions (MMV in particular!)
He lives in his little sheltered, privileged world and wants to destroy NYC's remaining character while filling it up with unemployable homeless and illegals!
There are no jobs here and the ones that exist don't pay shit! Do we really need 15 illegals in every basement in Queens?
It does not matter. They will both be re-elected by a wide margin. Unless the GOP somehow persuade Giuliani to oppose either of them.
To Anonymous #4: Not sure what you mean by saying it's only the opinion of those polled. That what a Poll is - a sample that, if conducted correctly, reflects the whole. It's like taking a blood test. You don't have to draw all blood to determine your cholesterol. For polling purposes 1,000 is valid for a question without drilling down into subgroups.

Our mayor is manic depressive just like his suicidal father. He most likely takes drugs to handle his condition. His constant tardiness and disinterest in his mayoral duties may be linked to his health and medical condition. Why won't the media bring this up?
Mayor Big Slow and Mario's Son are walking and breathing travesties. Despite being liberals they have done nothing for the people that they feign to care for. In fact, especially in housing, it has got worse, as both are cowardly lackeys for the real estate investor development complex.
I'll go a step further about the Blaz on his approach to administering law and order, as the more serious crimes have gone up and there are cops still using stop and frisk despite it being ruled unconstitutional.
But don't worry about Big Slow running for national office and bailing on the city, he's only serving as a medium for candidate Clinton to test how their well meaning liberal agenda translates across the nation, so Hillary can shape her platform and pander to the desperate and needy. And then break whatever promises she makes by keepng the status quo of wealth disparity secure.
Fuck them all.
But if their reelection was tomorrow they would be reelected by a wide margin. People complain all day long about how bad these politicians are, then keep reelecting them into office.
So, how come they got elected? Bingo! A stupid electorate. Now it's too late for a refund folks. Just stick it out until you get stuck again.
If everyone paid a little more attention to the backgrounds of the scoundrels running for office, we would be in better shape. But, no....we have become peripherals of our tech devices....glued to nonsense.
And my mom thought that watching too much boob tube would make me dumb.
We need smarter Americans, not easily manipulated tech drones.
The crook and the commie. I don't need to tell you who's who.
I didn't vote for them...
I voted for teachout in the primary and astorino on election day.
I voted for mcmillan for mayor, because he was right. High rents are destroying this city.
Spot on JQ, old chap!
Their not going anywhere so your only option is to pay up or Move Out.
The Gimmedats are running the show.
NYer's are the dumbest voters ever!! These two idiots will both be reelected. When will be just vote out all the incumbents?
Lots of great comments here! As for why the media doesn't mention the flaws in Di Strunzo's character it's simple. The media is part of the problem and has been for a long time.
They both suck, but for very different reasons.
Rich white men buying black wives is slavery
So Jeffersonian of DiBlasio?
Chains of gold is the only thing that's changed
They are assholes completely out of touch with regular New Yorkers and de blasio does not have leadership skills and is not leadership material. The Gov has a major corruption issue under his watch they he has done very little about.
NYC is a complicated city and you need true leaders to run it, which neither are.
If the union sheep in this city continue to buy into the idea that they will only get a good deal if they elect Democrats, this is the kind of pathetic leadership we can expect for years to come. I used to have a love/hate relationship with my fair city. Now it's just hate.
New sfacime, old sfacime, same old scheme
