Poll: De Blasio’s approval holds steady
A new poll says New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s approval rating has held steady despite a tumultuous summer for the city.
A Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday finds that 50 percent of voters approved of de Blasio’s job performance.
That is down a tick from 51 percent on June 11.
Since that poll was conducted, a budget deal was struck, de Blasio vacationed in Italy and the city was roiled by the death of a black Staten Island man who was placed in an illegal chokehold by a white police officer.
