“You say it’s a tough city. We’re hearing it outside, some protesters,” Stephanopoulos said.

“A little serenade,” de Blasio laughed.

Stephanopoulos brought up an April Quinnipiac University Poll that found 76 percent of New York City voters, including 73 percent of Democrats surveyed, didn’t want de Blasio to run for president.

“What should the rest of the country think when so many of your fellow New Yorkers [are] saying, ‘Don’t run?’” Stephanopoulos asked.

“I think you’d agree that the poll that actually matters is the election,” de Blasio replied. “I think about polling in general — it’s not where you start, it’s where you end.”
