Yes. There were no exit polls, but from the precinct patters, it looks like Bloomberg got lots of black and Latino votes. That's unusual because black people usually vote 90% Dem (Latinos vote Dem, but far less heavily), and because Latinos didn't vote in huge numbers for the Latino candidate. Ferrer's "two New Yorks" line just didn't catch fire.
Turnout, though, was quite low. So it's not like there was a passionate outpouring to re-elect Mike.
