Immigrant New Yorkers voted for Mayor Bloomberg in greater numbers than U.S.-born city residents, a poll released yesterday showed.
Republican Bloomberg captured 62.9 percent of the votes of foreign-born New Yorkers in his smashing re-election victory over Democrat Fernando Ferrer last month, the survey reports.
That’s 6 points better than the 56.7 percent of U.S.-born Big Apple residents who voted for Hizzoner.
The exit poll of 2,235 voters outside election precincts on Nov. 8 was conducted on behalf of the New York Immigration Coalition.
