There's plenty that New Yorkers are concerned about as this year's citywide elections ramp up from schools to safety to subways.

But an exclusive NY1 poll finds pocketbook issues are far above them all.

"The economy is so overriding as an issue right now to New Yorkers as it is to all Americans," said NY1 Pollster Mickey Blum.

Jobs and the economy clock in at 41 percent of voters' most important issues, more than doubling education, next in line at 19 percent. Rounding out the top five -- safety and security at eight percent, and both housing and taxes at six percent.

It gives Mayor Michael Bloomberg an advantage to a bid for four more years. Those prioritizing the economy prefer the media mogul.

Pollster Mickey Blum does see openings for Democrats in a few areas.

Nearly three months after he signed a term limits extension he once vowed he'd never do, more than half disapprove of the City Council's bill.

Fifty-seven percent give the thumbs down to 37 percent who approve of the controversial measure. Six percent aren't sure or refused to answer.

The measure, which overturned two voter referenda, now has nearly half of registered voters thinking less of Bloomberg.

Although for a third, it didn't matter. Thirteen percent say they think more of the mayor because of his term limits fight while six percent aren't sure or didn't answer.

"It has made them think somewhat less of the mayor. On the other hand, it's not the most important issue," said Blum.

For Democrats eyeing toppling Bloomberg, like Congressman Anthony Weiner and city comptroller Bill Thompson, there's another angle -- baseball.

Fifty-nine percent of New Yorkers disapprove of financial deals to give the Mets and Yankees new ballparks. Just 14 percent approve while about a quarter aren't sure.

The poll was taken before recent reports that costs of recreational facilities that were part of the Bloomberg administration-brokered deal have ballooned by nearly $80 million.

Which means if perks for baseball teams emerge as an issue, this political game isn't over yet.
