| Description | As a third party Presidential hopeful, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg earns from 13% to 23% of the vote in a Rasmussen Reports poll of New Jersey Likely Voters.
Bloomberg does best in a match-up where Democrats nominate former North Carolina Senator John Edwards and the Republicans nominate former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. In that hypothetical election, it’s Edwards 44% Bloomberg 23% and Romney 20%.
If the two major parties nominate their frontrunners, Bloomberg’s support falls to 13%. That’s partly because the frontrunners are also New Yorkers—Senator Hillary Clinton and Bloomberg’s predecessor Rudy Giuliani. In that match-up, Bloomberg’s biggest impact may be putting a solidly “Blue State” in play. It’s Clinton 42% Giuliani 39% and Bloomberg 13%.
One other match-up tested showed Democrat Barack Obama with 43% of the vote in New Jersey, Republican Fred Thompson with 27% and Bloomberg with 19%.
In each match-up, Bloomberg does better among men than women. |
