But?
The voting will be ‘ranked ‘ best of the lot….
So the head to head polling may not predict the winner…
Crime has become important in the final leg of the race and Adams is a former NYPD cop….Andrew Yang has lost his luster again…Just like in Democratic President primary race….He is now polling in second place….
As in the last national elections….
“Defund the Police’ policy won’t get you elected even among Democrats….
Crime has emerged as the single most important issue to Democratic voters in the primary race for mayor, and may be the single biggest factor driving Eric Adams’ climb in the polls, according to the exclusive results of our latest Spectrum News NY1/Ipsos poll.
The poll found voters’ level of concern with COVID-19 has faded as the infection rate continues to plummet. Instead, Democratic voters now point to crime and public safety as the top priority for the next mayor, and they increasingly see Adams, a retired police captain, as best equipped to tackle the problem.
That represents a sharp change from early April, when the last NY1/Ipsos poll was taken. At that time, an equal percentage of voters saw Adams and Andrew Yang as best able to fight crime.
Now, a third of voters, 33%, favor Adams, who has made public safety a centerpiece of his campaign and inveighed against rival candidates who want to shift resources from the NYPD. Only 11% of voters now say Yang would best handle the crime problem…
Note…
As it is cross the country….
The pandemic seems to be fading away as people’s primary concern….
The NYC Dem mayoral primary will be ranked voting…..
Polling may or mayn’t be relevant…
But?
Andrew Yang is sinking like stone after leading the race in the polls up until a bout 2 weeks ago….

Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, would win with 56 percent by the 12th round of ranked-choice voting. Former city Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia, the candidate who lasted until the final round, loses to Adams by 12 points, Marist College found in polling 876 likely primary voters from June 3-9.

Adams Keeps Lead for New York City Mayor
A new Ipsos poll the race for New York City mayor has Eric Adams at 28%, Andrew Yang at 20%, Kathryn Garcia 15%, and Maya Wiley at 13% on the first ballot of ranked-choice voting.
How did that final mayoral debate go this weekend?
Mostly…Crime…and Wang trying to get back his lost lead…
The final debate in the race for the Democratic nomination for mayor was a serious event focused on the grave issues facing New York City: crime, homelessness, mental health needs and the ever-present lack of affordable housing.
With all eight leading Democrats qualifying for the debate, the stage was crowded and the cross-talk abundant…
…
The final Democratic debate before the mayoral primary has been a testy one — with several candidates peevishly taking aim at each other, but failing to make solid contact.
As usual, Eric Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, seemed irritated by Andrew Yang, and Mr. Yang by Mr. Adams. Their personal animus felt tangible, particularly when Mr. Yang accused Mr. Adams of trying to win support from the police captains union, which Mr. Adams denied. (The union endorsed Mr. Yang.)…
