Poll: Dem primary for mayor wide open, half of voters still undecided
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 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 Bill de Blasio, with 6 percent. City Comptroller Scott Stringer with 5 percent and former top Citigroup executive Ray McGuire with 4 percent.
Former top Obama administration official Shaun Donovan, ex-city Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia and social services advocate Dianne Morales each had 2 percent of the vote.

Interesting that Stringer is doing so poorly. A lot of my Democratic funding friends have been supporting him as "best qualified". I never got onboard because he always struck me as a cookie-cutter mainstream candidate. That said, I don't belive that Yang has any real skillset that applies to running the largest city in the country.
