PoliticoWith a little more than two months until New Yorkers head to the polls to pick the Democratic candidate for mayor, Andrew Yang is widening the gap over his second-place rival, Eric Adams.
A survey conducted by Data For Progress, a national think tank, found 26 percent of voters are supporting Yangs candidacy double the 13 percent who said they would support Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. The news comes as several PACS are in the works to further assist Yangs campaign.
The poll also found Yang leading Adams 25 to 22 percent among Black voters a surprising number given the borough presidents political base in predominantly African-American parts of Brooklyn. Data For Progress polled 1,007 likely voters between March 21 and April 5 through web and text interviews, which would not necessarily capture the older New Yorkers Adams a former police officer and state Senator is counting on.
City Comptroller Scott Stringer, a career politician from Manhattan, captured 11 percent of those surveyed, and former City Hall attorney and MSNBC legal analyst Maya Wiley came in fourth at 10 percent. Every other candidate polled in single digits.

The real math is: who will the 2nd place votes of Donovan, McGuire, Garcia, and Morales go to? I suspect a fair number will go to Stringer, but no idea if they'll be enough.

She's not as progressive as Morales, and she's not as politically linked as Adams.

majority of those people.
