NEW YORKERS TURN THEIR BACKS ON POLICE PROTESTS,

QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS;
LYNCH, SHARPTON BOTH GET NEGATIVE SCORES
New York City voters, black, white and Hispanic, disapprove 69 27 percent of police officers
turning their backs on Mayor Bill de Blasio at funerals for two police officers, according to a
Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Police union leader Patrick Lynchs comments that the mayors office had blood on its
hands are too extreme, voters say 77 17 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-peack) University Poll finds. There is no party, gender, racial, borough or age group which finds
the comments appropriate.
With a big racial division, voters say 47 37 percent that Mayor de Blasios statements
and actions during his 2013 campaign and during his first year in office show he does support
police. The mayor supports police, black voters say 69 19 percent and Hispanic voters say
53 33 percent, while white voters say 49 36 percent he does not support police.
Police discipline has broken down, voters say 52 38 percent, but voters say 62 20
percent that Police Commissioner William Bratton can restore or maintain discipline.
Voters approve 56 31 percent of the job Commissioner Bratton is doing, up from
44 39 percent in a December 17 Quinnipiac University poll and his highest approval since a
57 19 percent score June 12, 2014. Black, white and Hispanic voters all approve.
Cops turning their backs on their boss, Mayor Bill de Blasio, is unacceptable, New
Yorkers say by large margins. Even cop-friendly Staten Island gives that rude gesture only a
split decision, said Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director Maurice Carroll.
Comments by the PBAs Patrick Lynch that Mayor de Blasio has blood on his hands
are condemned by white, black and Hispanic voters alike.

Maybe its sympathy for a guy in a tough position, a commissioner leading a defiant
department, but Commissioner William Brattons job approval numbers jump up, Carroll added.
Voters think misbehaving cops should be punished and they fear that discipline in the
department has broken down, but they believe Commissioner Bratton can straighten things out.
New York City voters approve 56 37 percent of the job police citywide are doing,
compared to 51 41 percent December 17. Approval today is 66 28 percent among white
voters and 54 36 percent among Hispanic voters, while black voters disapprove 54 41
percent. Voters approve 71 25 percent of the job police in their community are doing.
The recent slowdown in police activity is more of a protest, 56 percent of voters say,
while 27 percent say it is because police officers fear for their safety.
Voters say 57 34 percent that officers should be disciplined if they deliberately are
making fewer arrests or writing fewer tickets. Black, white and Hispanic voters all agree.
Lynch and Sharpton
Voters give Patrolmens Benevolent Assn. President Patrick Lynch a negative 18 39
percent favorability rating and say 43 27 percent that he is a mostly negative force in the city.
Rev. Al Sharpton gets a negative 29 53 percent favorability, his lowest score ever, and
voters say 51 37 percent that he is a mostly negative force in the city, also his worst score.
Rev. Sharpton has too much influence with Mayor de Blasio, 37 percent of voters say,
while 8 percent say he has too little influence and 34 percent say his influence is about right.
Its an incongruous pairing, but Lynch and Rev. Al Sharpton, the outspoken police critic,
share in the negative judgments of New Yorkers, Carroll said.
Relations between Mayor de Blasio and the police are generally bad, voters say 77 15
percent. Of those who say bad, 45 percent of voters say de Blasio is to blame, while 43
percent blame police. White voters blame de Blasio 61 30 percent and black voters blame
police 69 16 percent. Hispanic voters are divided with 45 percent blaming the mayor and 42
percent blaming police.
From January 7 14, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,182 New York City voters, with a
margin of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public
opinion surveys in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Virginia,
Iowa, Colorado and the nation as a public service and for research.
