New Yorkers are feeling pessimistic on the rebuilding efforts at the World Trade Center site.

According to a Quinnipiac poll, 61 percent of those surveyed do not believe the first phase of the September 11th Memorial will be ready by the 10th anniversary of the attack in 2011, while 28 percent believe it will be.

The poll also shows 63 percent do not believe One World Trade Center will be built by December 2013, while 25 percent say they believe it will be built.

A total of 53 percent say the redevelopment of Lower Manhattan is going somewhat badly or very badly. That’s the highest number since Quinnipiac began asking the question in 2002.

About 1,300 New York City registered voters were surveyed. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.
