A new poll says New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio�s approval rating has fallen over the last two months.

A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday says that 45 percent of New Yorkers approve of the job de Blasio is doing.

Thirty-four percent disapprove.

The new poll has a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.

De Blasio�s rating is down from Quinnipiac�s last poll, which was released January 16. In that poll, 53 percent approved of the job he was doing and only 13 did not.

De Blasio has weathered a series of missteps, from his handling of a pair of snowstorms to the call he made to the NYPD on behalf of a political ally.

He has also been battling Albany for funding for his universal pre-kindergarten proposal.
