Thompson Would Win NYC Runoff if He Makes It

A new Quinnipiac poll in New York City finds Anthony Weiner leads in the Democratic mayoral race with 26% of likely voters, followed by Christine Quinn at 22%, William Thompson at 20%, Bill deBlasio at 15% and John Liu at 7%.

The poll was conducted before news that Weiner continued his “sexting” issues even after he resigned from Congress. If Weiner drops out of the race, Quinn leads with 30% to Thompson’s 26% with de Blasio at 21% and Liu at 10%.

In a Democratic primary runoff, however, Thompson tops Weiner 52% to 41% and leads Quinn 51% to 42%.
