“I’m very encouraged,” the former New York governor told Bloomberg following his speech at the annual gathering of the Association for the Improvement of American Infrastructure, a group that advocates for private investments in public infrastructure project. “You know we went from nowhere and, without any advertising nationally, just with the announcement and the energy and enthusiasm generated from that, the next CNN poll showed I was in the top 10 and would make the August debate.”
