A recent Quinnipiac poll showed that de Blasio has lower
approval ratings in New York City than Gov. Andrew Cuomo, with 56 percent of city voters approving of
how the governor is handling his
job and 41 percent feeling that way about the mayor.
A reminder that a favorable
rating is not the same as an
approval rating: favorable
ratings measure
how Americans feel about Obama as a person, while an
approval rating is an indicator of his
job performance in the White House.
