New York City Poll: Yang, Adams, Wiley Lead Crowded Mayoral Democratic Primary Field
Source: Emerson College
In the first WPIX-TV/NewsNation/Emerson College poll of the New York City mayoral race, entrepreneur Andrew Yang leads the crowded Democratic primary with support from 32% of likely Democratic voters. Rounding out the top five candidates at this stage in the race are Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams at 19%, followed by former counsel to Mayor de Blasio Maya Wiley at 9%, NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer at 6%, and Former NYC Department of Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia at 5%. All other candidates polled under 5%, and 17% of respondents answered someone else (n=644, +/-3.8%).
As New York City prepares to use ranked-choice voting in this election, a plurality (40%) of likely Democratic primary voters say they’ve heard a little about the system. A third (33%) of voters have heard nothing about ranked-choice voting, and 26% have heard a lot. When asked if they feel if ranked-choice voting will lead to less negativity in the mayoral campaigns, a majority (63%) believe it will not, while 37% believe it will.
Adams ranks highest among voters’ second-choice candidates, at 11%, followed by Yang at 9%, and Stringer at 8%. Twenty-nine percent (29%) of voters indicated that they would not rank any candidate as their second choice at this time.
