Stringer Pulls Ahead of Spitzer

A new Quinnipiac poll in New York City shows Scott Stringer breaking out of the too-close-to-call comptroller’s race with Eliot Spitzer and now leads 50% to 43%.

Said pollster Maurice Carroll: “Stringer has the momentum as he overcomes a huge publicity
blitz by Spitzer. He’s not home free, but he looks to be on the plus side of the
racial split with a big white vote offsetting the almost as big black vote for Spitzer.”
