Just days after US commandos killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, President Obama has seen his popularity soar among New Yorkers, according to a poll released today.
In a survey commissioned by NY1 and the Marist Institute, a whopping 69 percent said President Obama is doing either "an excellent or good job" in office -- a 10 percent increase compared to just last week before bin Laden's lair had been raided.
"For New York City residents, the war on terror is not over, but they feel we just won a big battle," said Lee Miringoff, director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. "They are thankful for the president's leadership."
Obama will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony Thursday at Ground Zero and then meet with first responders and families of 9/11 victims.
