Bill de Blasio Is Losing Popularity Among White New Yorkers

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 19, 2015

Mayor de Blasio's favorability among white New Yorkers is at an all-time low, with only 28% approving of the Democratic mayor's performance.

That's according to a New York Times/Siena College poll published earlier this week.

Brigid Bergin, WNYC City Hall and politics reporter, and Greg David, director of the business and economics reporting program at The CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, a contributor to Crain's New York Business and the author of Modern New York: The Life and Economics of a City (Palgrave Macmillan Trade, 2012) discuss the latest poll findings.
