Mayor Bill de Blasio has at least one thing in common with President Trump, the man he would like to unseat: Their fellow New Yorkers love to hate them.
In a Siena College Research Institute poll released on Monday, the two men outdid all other New York politicians in receiving a negative net favorability rating.
Among registered voters statewide who responded to the poll, 34 percent had a favorable opinion of Mr. Trump, while 63 percent had an unfavorable opinion — for a net negative of 29 percent.
Mr. de Blasio, who has embarked on a long-shot campaign for president, did almost as badly: 29 percent had a favorable opinion and 53 percent an unfavorable opinion — for a net negative of 24 percent.
