    He was only popular with people outside of NY who had no idea who he was before 9/11…

      He was elected mayor twice, both times before 9/11 (which happened only a few months before the end of his second term). After 9/11 he was never elected to any office again, despite his efforts.

        Did you just now figure out the two party system usually results in a general with two options who are unpopular?

        Congrats? I guess someone figures it out every day…

          As a matter of fact, he was popular.

          Right before his re-election,

          Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s approval rating has edged up to an all-time 68 - 28 percent high, matching a record of 70 percent of New Yorkers who are “very satisfied” or “somewhat satisfied” with life in the city, according to a Quinnipiac College Poll released today.
