So Eric Adams is ahead by about 9 points for NYC Mayor

[Polybius]

With rank-choice voting, does anyone have a realistic chance of over-taking him?

5. Why?

Why is ‘NYC screwed bigly’ with Adams? I haven’t followed the race closely, but Adams seems like a credible candidate. My personal preference would be Maya Wiley, but I don’t live there.

6. I voted for Adams

He'll do just fine if elected.

2. They focused wayyyy too much on Andrew Yang early on

[blm]

3. Yup. Maya Wiley was ignored by most media.

[StarfishSaver]

11. Yes, she was - typical

If she had gotten half the attention Andrew Yang did, she'd have won in a walk.

[Polybius]

4. He was leading by so much a couple of months ago

My how things changed so quickly.

8. name recognition and undecided voters

I think Yang might just be a really terrible politician. He needs to quite running for office and find a think-tank somewhere to run.

9. Not my preference

But I don’t live there.

10. Yes there is some chance of him being overtaken

Adams strikes me as being somewhat polarizing. He won't be at or over 50 until after Yang is eliminated. I don't see him being the 2nd choice of many of Yang's voters so when it gets down to three candidates he may not be at 50%. Then the eliminated candidate could be Garcia who he called a racist. Good luck getting her 2nd choice votes.

[Dorian Gray]

12. I don't think Garcia will be eliminated

before everybody else.

On my ballot I had garcia as one (and you're right, adams wasn't anywhere on my ballot.)

She's the one who will battle him. I'm interested in who Maya's ballots will list....

13. I prefer Wiley

I also like Yang more. But I guess Adams would do a decent job. A Huffington Post article said there are rumblings that de Blasio likes Adams.
