The controversy over the NYPD’s monitoring of Muslims isn’t registering with New York City voters, according to a poll being released today.

Mayor Bloomberg enjoyed a comfortable 54-35 percent approval rating in the latest Quinnipiac University survey, identical to when he was lauded for the city’s Hurricane Irene precautions last September and a 15-point bounce from last month’s poll.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly held steady at a vigorous 64-25 percent approval score.

Kelly’s popularity extended even beyond Bloomberg’s term.

If one of the 2013 mayoral candidates pledged to keep Kelly in the job, 28 percent of voters said they’d be more likely to vote for that candidate, while 19 percent said they’d less likely.

When it came to measuring the NYPD’s effectiveness in combating terrorism, an overwhelming 82 percent of voters gave cops here a thumbs up.

“New Yorkers brush aside the gripes about police surveillance of the Muslim community,” said pollster Maurice Carroll. “Voter approval of the way police are handling terrorism is through the roof and overall approval for police in general and for Commissioner Ray Kelly is undaunted.”

The one discordant note for Kelly and his department was the sharp division over its “stop and frisk” tactics. Forty-nine percent of New Yorkers disapproved on the policy; 46 percent did not.

The divide broke along racial lines, with black voters finding fault with the practice by a 68-27 percent margin and white voters giving it their okay by 59-36 percent.

There was plenty of good news to be mined from the poll by City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, a 2013 mayoral contender.

Her approval rating was higher than ever at 59-20 percent and she led the field of Democratic contenders for City Hall.

The numbers tumbled out: Quinn, 25 percent; Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, 15 percent; former Comptroller Bill Thompson, 13 percent; Public Advocate Bill de Blasio 9 percent; Comptroller John Liu and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer tied at 7 percent and Tom Allon at 2 percent.

Comparisons with previous polls were difficult since those included Kelly, the police commissioner, in the mix. And even the current results were subject to instant change because Markowitz isn’t expected to run, so his supporters will likely shift to the other Brooklyn candidates, Thompson and de Blasio.
