Andrew Yang Lags, Eric Adams Spikes in Polls With One Week to New York City Mayoral Primary
With just one week before the New York City mayoral Democratic primary election, Andrew Yang has fallen behind in polls, while Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has surged ahead.
The WNBC/Telemundo 47/POLITICO/Marist Poll provided a look into the new ranked-choice voting system that will be used in the election and had Adams edging former New York City Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia in the final round of voting.
The ranked-choice system allows voters to place five candidates in order of their preference. Candidates that receive the lowest rank will be eliminated and the first candidate to reach over 50 percent of votes will be declared the winner.
According to the poll, 24 percent said Adams was their first choice, 17 percent named Garcia as their first choice, 15 percent chose Maya Wiley, former counsel to current Mayor Bill de Blasio, and 13 percent chose Yang.
