“Not surprisingly, the poll showed little sentiment among voters for overturning the term-limits law”:

Mayor Bloomberg, who has repeatedly denied interest in running for governor or extending term limits, has conducted a poll that includes questions about changing term limits — a move that would allow him to run for re-election — as well as his chances of winning a race for the statehouse, sources said last night.

“You know Mike Bloomberg,” said one source. “Data doesn’t determine the answers, but you can’t do anything without data.”

The Post first reported in April that Bloomberg was exploring a possible third term — a story immediately denied by mayoral aides.

Not surprisingly, the poll showed little sentiment among voters for overturning the term-limits law that will force Bloomberg and other city officials to leave office on Dec. 31, 2009.
