Polls: Bloomberg Scores in City, Ohio

As he prepares for a national run, Mayor Bloomberg is more popular than ever at home.

A poll released yesterday by Marist College and WNBC found that a record-breaking 66% of New Yorkers think he is doing a good or excellent job.

Another poll predicted that a Bloomberg run for president in a three-way race with Senator Clinton and Mayor Giuliani would benefit the former first lady in the battleground state of Ohio.

The Quinnipiac University poll found that in a two-way contest, 44% of Ohio voters would choose Mrs. Clinton and 42% would pick Mr. Giuliani. Add Mr. Bloomberg, and Mrs. Clinton widens her lead — 40% would pick Mrs. Clinton, 35% would pick Mr. Giuliani, and 10% would pick Mr. Bloomberg.
