New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg remains popular, despite an overwhelming consensus that his administration should have done more to ensure the safety of construction sites and an overall sense that the city is headed down the wrong path, according to a report on a New York Times poll.

The report said 67 percent of city residents approve of the job Bloomberg is doing, while 28 percent disapprove and about 5 percent had no opinion. That matches Bloomberg’s highest mark, which was in October 2005, shortly before he defeated Fernando Ferrer to win re-election to a second term.
