Only 32% of White New Yorkers Approve of Radical Left-Wing Mayor Bill de Blasio

New York’s Socialist Mayor only clambered into office and he has already poisoned the city, promoted racism and destroyed hope.

William Wilhelm aka Bill de Blasio’s approval ratings are split overall, but only 32% of white residents approve of the disastrous job he’s doing, while 70% of black residents and 60% of Hispanics do.

After the latest racial violence, which included a racist stabbing in a Crown Heights synagogue, 41% of Jews approve, 37% disapprove.

The one thing New Yorkers agree on is the general sense of hopelessness that Bill de Blasio has inflicted on the city.

One thing whites and blacks do agree on, however, is that the city is on the wrong track: 52 percent of New Yorkers agree with that statement, the highest since 2011 and up sharply from 42 percent a year ago.

New Yorkers are also now evenly divided on whether the mayor shares their priorities — a change from April, when 58 percent said the mayor was focused on issues important to them, and 37 percent said he was not.

The one thing you can count on progressives for is despair. The city now feels racially polarized under Bill de Blasio.

Three out of five New Yorkers said the mayor had made little difference in improving police and community relations, and one in five said he had made the dynamic worse.

Nearly half — 48 percent — of respondents said race relations in the city were bad in general, up from 30 percent at the end of Mayor Bloomberg’s tenure.

Asked how much the mayor cares about their problems, 41 percent of blacks answered “a lot”; only 17 percent of whites said the same.

Bill de Blasio has thoroughly alienated white New Yorkers with his racist rhetoric, his embrace of Sharpton and his contempt for their traditions, such as Columbus Day, and their safety by endorsing the racist Garner hatefest.

Finally few New Yorkers of any race or creed said that they had “a lot” of confidence in De Blasio’s ability to deal with a major crisis. At least one that doesn’t involve banning horses.
