Quinnipiac poll on Mayoral control and term limits

See the new Quinnipiac poll that show that even though people like Bloomberg, they strongly oppose (56 - 38 percent) ending term limits.

And while they think he’s done a good job with the schools, they believe that the next Mayor should share power with an independent board. Only 29 percent say the next Mayor should keep complete control of the schools, while 55 percent say he or she should share control with an independent school board.

Despite a massive advertising campaign about the rise in state test scores, Klein’s approval ratings are only up slightly – at 44%, and his disapproval rate remains high at 37%.

Among women, Klein’s approval rate is almost tied with his disapproval rate– 41% compared to 40%.

While 53% of public school parents say they are generally satisfied with the quality of the public schools in New York City, 45% are not.

Klein’s highest disapproval rate is in Staten Island, at 41%.

Staten Island also has the highest rate of those who say that the next Mayor should share power with an independent board.
