Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s successful campaign for a third term was widely anticipated, but the results were not without surprises.
Bronx voters supported city Comptroller Bill Thompson, the Democratic nominee, over Mr. Bloomberg, an independent, 60.8 percent to 37.1 percent, the largest borough-wide margin for the challenger. Brooklyn was the only other borough to give Mr. Thompson a victory, and by a much smaller margin of 50.9 percent to 45.3 percent.
Riverdale, though, went for Mr. Bloomberg. Districts 80 and 81, comprising Pelham Parkway, Norwood, Woodlawn and Riverdale, were the only districts in the Bronx to favor Mr. Bloomberg. In district 80, Mr. Bloomberg received 7,041 votes to Mr. Thompson’s 6,377, and in district 81, it was an even bigger gap of 9,698 votes to 6,732, according to polling data. Read more..
