NEW YORK -- A new poll finds New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's approval rating has plummeted to a near-historic low following his administration's chaotic response to a post-Christmas snowstorm.
The Marist College/NY1 poll of registered voters was released Thursday. It found that 37 percent said he is doing a good or excellent job, and 60 percent rate it as fair or poor.
That's a major dip from October, when 50 percent rated him as good or excellent, and 45 as fair or poor.
