Douglas E. Schoen, advised Michael Bloomberg in his campaigns since 2001. He has written about a Bloomberg run for President in the NY Daily News.
"I have worked for Bloomberg with pride for 17 years, I advised his three successful campaigns for Mayor of New York City and I remain in his employ as a pollster. ... Bloomberg is exactly the kind of leader we need for America ... Some pundits have argued that a Bloomberg candidacy would be nothing more than a Democratic spoiler, siphoning voters away from Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders and handing the presidency to Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. These pundits misjudge Bloomberg's widespread appeal that transcends and belies liberal or conservative dogmas. "Indeed, a study conducted by Frank Luntz found that not only does Bloomberg have the support of nearly 30% of the electorate before even announcing a candidacy, he actually 'takes a higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats when the GOP candidate is Trump or Cruz.' ... Only an independent President who will bring people together.
It remains to be seen whether former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg will run for President as an independent. However, it is clear to Bloomberg and to many Americans that our country needs real leadership from outside of the highly polarized, hopelessly partisan Democratic and Republican Parties.
Indeed, the latest Gallup polling shows that fully 60% of Americans believe that the two major parties have done “such a poor job” that we need a third option.
Bloomberg would be the candidate for Americans who are tired of Democrats and Republicans promising the impossible while delivering the inadequate, and who understand that the two major parties and the Washington political class have failed our country so miserably that our economy and national security are now deeply threatened.
I also worked on all of his campaigns as a member of the New York Independence Party.
