Poll: Dem primary for NYC mayor wide open, half of voters still undecided
[NYPOST] The June 22 Democratic primary race for mayor is still "wide open" — with half of voters still undecided, a new poll released Wednesday reveals.Entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang
...Former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. Unlike most of the other Dem 2020 candidates, he actually did things besides politix in his adult life, which made him political poison. He worked in startups and early-stage growth companies as a founder or executive from 2000 to 2009. After he founded Venture for America, the Obama administration selected him in 2012 as a Champion of Change and in 2015 as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. His signature campaign policy is what he calls the Freedom Dividend, a form of Universal Basic Income for every American over 18. Yang believes UBI is a necessary response to the rapid development of automation that is leading to workforce challenges. The other two central elements of Yang's platform are Medicare for All and Human-Centered Capitalism....
is in the lead, but with support of just 16 percent of likely Democratic voters, the survey by Fontas Advisors/Core Decision Analytics found.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams is in second with 10 percent backing, followed by Maya Wiley, a former top legal counsel to Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
, with 6 percent. City Comptroller Scott Stringer with 5 percent and former top Citigroup executive Ray McGuire with 4 percent.

Former top B.O. regime official Shaun Donovan, ex-city Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia and social services advocate Dianne Morales each had 2 percent of the vote.

But the biggest group is the 50 percent of voters who are still shopping for a candidate with less than three months to go.

"This race is wide open," said George Fontas, whose lobbying firm paid for the poll.

Pollster Adam Rosenblatt, president of DC-based Core Decision Analytics, said, "Though the candidates may have been campaigning for several months, our survey shows that voters are only now starting to tune in to the mayor’s race.

"With less than one hundred days until the Democratic primary, the majority of likely voters are undecided, unfamiliar with most candidates, and also largely unaware of the new ranked choice process."

#1 Ima thinking that NYC hasn't yet crashed hard enough for the voters to elect anyone but a deBlasio clone, No new Giuliani on the horizon.

#2 So de Blasio isn't running again? Or does he not chart on the poll?

Yang is a carpetbagger and said some unflattering things about NY last year. Otherwise I suspect he'd be running away with it as New Yorkers fight to prove they aren't anti-Asian (at least as far as a poll is concerned).
