Bloomberg's third term as New York mayor turns sour
City voters have turned on the independent, with a Quinnipiac University poll on Wednesday showing a 51 percent majority disapprove of his performance and 39 percent approve his lowest rating since November 2003.
The once popular Bloomberg, who flirted with a run for president in 2008, came under heavy criticism for a botched city cleanup of a December 26-27 blizzard that left many neighborhoods buried under snow for days.

Bloomberg ran for a third term in 2009 after pushing the City Council to overturn a voter-approved term limits law.
Two years ago, Mike Bloomberg was telling New Yorkers they couldnt survive without him having a third term. Now New Yorkers seem to be wondering whether they can survive a third term, said Randy Mastro, a lawyer and former deputy mayor.
