Andrew Yang Teeters, Eric Adams Leads in Polls With One Day to New York's Mayoral Primary
With one day until New York's mayoral Democratic primary, Andrew Yang has fallen behind as the top choice while Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams remains the leader in several polls.
A recent poll conducted by Ipsos found Adams edging out Yang in the final round of a ranked-choice voting simulation.
According to the survey, 28 percent named Adams as their initial first choice for mayor, while 20 percent named Yang and 15 percent chose former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia. In the seventh round in the ranked-choice simulation, the poll found Adams winning the race over Yang by 12 points (56 to 44 percent).
This poll surveyed 2,924 New York City residents from June 10 to 17, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

Adams holds on to lead in wide-open NYC mayoral primary: poll
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams is leading the field of Democrats vying to become New York City's next mayor ahead of Tuesday's primary, but ranked-choice voting means the race is far from decided.
A new Ipsos poll released on Monday found Adams as the top choice for 28 percent of New Yorkers, while former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang comes in second place with 20 percent support.
While those numbers bode well for Adams, it's still well below the 50 percent threshold needed to win the nomination outright. And given the city's new ranked-choice voting system, which allows voters to rank candidates by preference, other contenders will have a chance to pull ahead.
The Ipsos poll simulated the effects that ranked-choice voting could have on the contest, projecting that the primary could go to a seventh round of counting before a winner is declared.
