A slight majority of New York City voters oppose Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s call to ban the sale of over-sized sugary beverages, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
The survey from Quinnipiac University shows that 51 percent of New Yorkers oppose Bloomberg’s much-ballyhooed plan, while 46 percent support the proposal. Men and women are sharply divided on the issue. Male voters overwhelmingly oppose the ban, 55 percent to 41 percent. Women, on the other hand, support it by a narrow margin, 50 percent to 47 percent.
