New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Democratic rival William C. Thompson finished their last full day of campaigning Monday before tomorrow's mayoral election.
Bloomberg criss-crossed the city today visiting small businesses that has prospered during the last eight years and discussed his plans to "continue making progress on behalf of all New Yorkers. After watching the first couple of innings of game five of the World Series with service men and women aboard the USS New York, a Navy ship whose hull was built with seven and a half tons of steel that fell to the ground when the World Trade Center collapsed in the September 11 terrorist attacks, which returned to New York harbor for a dedication ceremony today Bloomberg joined New Yorkers at a Manhattan Sports Bar to watch the Yankees take on the Phillies. After voting early tomorrow morning, Bloomberg will greet commuters at an upper west side subway stop, then not be seen again until his election night rally.
Thompson held a series of get out the vote rallies across the city. Appearing at a Chinatown rally with Democratic Comptroller candidate John C. Liu, Thompson said, "Tomorrow night I will prove the polls and the pundits wrong." Thompson was referring to polls that have shown him down as much as 20 percent over Bloomberg and pundits who have called Bloomberg "unbeatable."
A new poll out today shows Thompson gaining some ground, down by only 12 percent, less than a week ago he was down by 17 percent. That same poll showed 10 percent of New York City voters remain undecided going into tomorrow's election.
Polls open across New York state at 6 a.m. tomorrow and close at 9 p.m. New York City voters will be choosing a new mayor, public advocate, comptroller and City Council Member, each of whom serves a four year term.
