New Yorkers want Ray Kelly to be their next mayor, a new poll out by Quinnipiac today found.
Also high on their list is Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.
The only problem is that neither Kelly nor Markowitz are thought to be likely candidates. Neither, for example has been raising money for a potential run.
In the poll 23 percent of respondents say they would most like the police commissioner to be the next mayor, following by City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who gets 18 percent. Markowitz nabs 12 percent. In a bad sign for former Democratic nominee Bill Thompson, he is out polled 10-8 by current City Comptroller John Liu. Public Advocate Bill de Blasio gets 6 percent of the vote and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer 4 percent.
“Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has never given the faintest hint that he’d like to move from Police Headquarters across the street to City Hall, but New York seems to like the idea of Kelly for mayor,” said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
