New Yorkers arent eager to ring in the new year with politicians but if they had to, theyd rather hang with Hillary Clinton than with the mayor or governor.

The former secretary of state is the New Years date of choice for 37% of New York voters in a Quinnipiac poll released Monday.

That gave her a wide lead over both Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio only 8% of voters were interested in toasting 2015 with either of them.

But 45% of New Yorkers said no thanks to all pols.

Would you like to toast the event with the man in the Governors Mansion? Very few say yes. The man in Gracie Mansion? Not too many takers for that either, said Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. Their favorite New Years date would be the lady from Chappaqua.

Clinton, the likely Democratic front-runner in the 2016 presidential race, fared better with her own party than Republicans.

Only 15% of GOP supporters wanted to sing Auld Lang Syne with Clinton, compared to 52% of Democrats.

New York Citys progressive mayor would be the best New Years date for only 2% of Republicans polled, compared to a still-not-impressive 12% of Democrats.

Cuomo was the only Democrat who got love from the opposing party: 11% of Republicans said they would most like to spend New Years with Cuomo, compared to 8% of Democrats.

Meanwhile, a new Gallup poll found that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are the most admired Americans.
