Do You Approve of Bloomberg's Handling of City Schools? [POLL]

Both Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott received 34 percent approval ratings from city residents in a recent Marist Poll on how they were handling the city's school system.

In the poll, 34 percent of voters approved of Bloomberg's education performance, while 56 percent disapproved and 10 percent were unsure.

Walcott's approval rating was also 34 percent, while 49 percent gave him a fair or poor rating and 17 percent were unsure.

"Dissatisfaction with New York City's public schools remains high," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. "New Yorkers want the next mayor to move in a different direction."
