Most New Yorkers may approve of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's job performance – but when it comes to keeping him around for another four years, a majority say it's time for someone else.

Those findings are according to an exclusive poll conducted by NY1, the New York Times, and Cornell University.

The poll shows that while 60 percent of New Yorkers approve of Bloomberg's job performance, 55 percent say the want "someone else" in City Hall next year.

The poll also shows that an overwhelming number of New Yorkers are unfamiliar with Bloomberg's top rival, Democrat Bill Thompson.

The poll surveyed 683 adults throughout New York City with a margin of sampling error of +/-4 percentage points.
