Politico reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Mike Bloomberg\u2019s presidential campaign<\/a> has brought on more than 700 staffers spread out across 33 states, with a growing number of organizers joining his ranks in states that vote on Super Tuesday<\/a>, aides told POLITICO. All told, the former New York mayor’s operation totals more than 1,000 people, a figure that includes hundreds of staffers who work out of his Manhattan headquarters. The unprecedented scale and scope of the campaign \u2014 he has also spent over $200 million on TV ads<\/a> \u2014 gives Bloomberg a massive footprint in states that hold their primaries on March 3 or later …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s a lot of money. He must be surging in the polls, right?<\/p>\n

His Real Clear Polling<\/a> average for January 3rd through 14th is 6.6%. Compare this to Joe Biden<\/a> at 27.2%, Bernie Sanders<\/a> at 19.2% and Elizabeth Warren<\/a> at 16.0%.<\/p>\n

His record as Mayor does not appear to be helping him with Democrats.\u00a0 I have seen his ads running in the NYC media market.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 After 12 years in office everyone knows who he is.\u00a0 They obviously don’t think he the man for the job.<\/p>\n
