"Maybe they're just bashful," Quinnipiac's Maurice Carroll advised, "or maybe they're nervous about which fork to use, but most New Yorkers would RSVP 'No' to (Bloomberg's) holiday invite." The survey was conducted Nov. 5-8 of 1,221 registered New York City voters. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
