Toss Up in New York City

A new Quinnipiac poll in New York City finds Christine Quinn (D) barely leading the Democratic mayoral race with 19%, followed by Anthony Weiner at 17% and William Thompson at 16%.

Said pollster Maurice Carroll: “Thompson’s spurt — no doubt spurred in part by his endorsement last week by the United Federation of Teachers — is the big news in this new poll. The other news is Quinn’s slide and that’s more puzzling. A few polls ago, she was edging close to the magic 40 percent.”
