 NEW YORK (AP) - Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his Democratic challenger spent their final campaign hours in a last-minute push for turnout on Election Day, as yet another poll showed the Republican incumbent crushing the underdog.
Fernando Ferrer tried to energize his base and chip away at the mayor's predicted lead by scheduling campaign appearances with the Rev. Al Sharpton and Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. And Bloomberg didn't want to take any chances that his supporters might stay home and assume he already had victory in the bag.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Monday showed that Bloomberg has a 38-point lead over Ferrer. Previous polls have said Bloomberg has about a 30-point lead.
