Nearly Half Of New Yorkers Want A Bloomberg Mayoral Run: Poll

NEW YORK CITY — New Yorkers want a former mayor to run again if Mayor Eric Adams is forced out or decides to resign, according to a recent published poll.

Three in five New Yorkers think Adams is guilty of at least some of the five federal charges he faces, according to a new Morning Consult poll.

Almost half of those surveyed — 48 percent— want former Mayor Mike Bloomberg to run again if the mayor steps aside.

Thirty-three percent said they would be opposed to another run from the former mayor.

The poll survey was conducted between Oct, 4-8 with 1,500 New Yorkers being interviewed.

“Even if Adams is able to beat the charges, as he has pledged to, our survey makes clear that he has already been convicted in the court of public opinion,” Morning Consult wrote in its findings.

“Our survey also makes clear that New Yorkers are pining for the Bloomberg era, a consensus any aspiring future leader would be wise to take note.”

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo — who has teased a return to politics — also received favorable poll results.

Forty-two percent of New Yorkers would like to see Cuomo run for mayor, 41 percent said they would be opposed to him running.

State Attorney General Letitia James also garnered some support. About 40 percent of adults would support James to run, according to the poll. That included 54 percent of Democrats, which was more support from her party than any other candidate polled.

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio remains unpopular with New Yorkers, according to the poll. 54 percent of people were not in favor of de Blasio running again.

The poll also looked at other possible candidates like Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, former city Comptroller Scott Stringer and current city Comptroller Brad Lander.
