New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin refutes the findings of the latest UNO Quality of Life Study that show his approval rating has declined from 40 percent to 31 percent.

Nobody does that," said Nagin in an exclusive interview with Rush Radio 99.5 WRNO.
According to the UNO poll, 49 percent of black respondents approve of the job Nagin is doing while only 11 percent of white respondents believe the Mayor is doing a good job. But Nagin says he doesn't buy that.
"I don't believe that one segment of the population understands this recovery and the delays of money and another one doesn't. It just doesn't make sense," said Nagin.
