NYC'13: Congrats to Mayor de Blasio

[Asian Nazi]

I used to live in Brooklyn Heights before I got married and moved to Scarsdale.  I am looking at some of the results from my old neighborhood.  All de Blasio with him winning about 60% of the vote.  What I find ironic is that this area of NYC prospered mainly because of reduced crime and that is exactly what de Blasio is running against saying it went too far.  Perhaps they all forgot what it was like in the early 1990s with the crime there (before I moved into that area.)

And you call yourself a libertarian?  What a joke.

Not looking good for Spitzer.  I think he has been on a stable 52-48 deficit for a while.  Unlikely he will catch up.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Perhaps discuss policing issues some other time?

Edging ever so slowly upwards...

Probably. 

The only good news for Spitzer is that the Bronx, which he is winning, is least-in and Staten Island, which he is losing, is most-in.  But, then again, Manhattan lags the city average and Stringer is cleaning up there.

[jaichind]

Quinn only at 40% in places like Upper East side, even the part of Upper East Side close to Central Park.  That is where she should really win 75%+.  This is symbolic of her deflating campaign.  

[Filuwaúrdjan]

To give an indication of what sort of a trouncing of all and sundry (and not just Quinn) this is: de Blasio leads in most of Harlem proper. It's actually only Liu's base that's holding up against the de Blasio wave, so far.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

45% in and he's up to 39.2%.

[jaichind]

Even though exit polls could not produce the de Blasio vote share of 9% of votes in the $200K+ income group, looking at the wealthier parts of the Upper East Side can clearly show us that share: in the low 20s.  Of course that is more like the $500K+ crowd.

[jaichind]

There is a district in Gramcey where Salgado won.  Not sure why.  Perhaps that district has an unusual number of Puerto Ricans. 

[ElectionsGuy]

Stringer is leading in Comptroller just slightly... 51.6% to 48.4% Spitzer. Racial split is interesting. Whites mostly Stringer, blacks and Hispanics mostly Spitzer, and Asians half and half.

Yeah, I was wrongly skeptical of the strength of the deBlasio vote in black areas but he looks to have pulled it off and will likely take it home at 40%.  Im keeping my eye out for Canarsie as really last possible life line for Thompson to hold numbers under 40.

And by looks of it he is getting smoked in Canarsie. ouch.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

55% in, and it's still 39.1%

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Could only spot one incumbent trailing in the City Council primaries: Gonzalez in the 38th district. About ten points behind and with 85% in.

[jaichind]

I find it interesting that Thompson also captured 20%-30% of the Upper East Side vote.  Perhaps it is tactical voting on the basis that Thompson is more likely to win against de Blasio in a runoff as opposed to Quinn.  

[cinyc]

They should be calling the Republican primary for Lhota soon.  I'm calling it.  
72% in:
  Joe Lhota 51.4%
  John Catsimatidis 41.9%
  George McDonald 6.7%

AP is calling for a runoff between James and Squadron for Public Advocate.  James has 35%.  Squadron 33%.

[jaichind]

Looks like Liu won Elmhurst.  Elmhurst is about 40% Asian and that is exactly what Liu came in at.  Looks like Liu got the Asian vote and some of the most Liberal and low income voters outside Asians and thats it. 

[Lief 🗽]

Looks like De Blasio has a truly post-racial (minus Asians) coalition. Very rare (unprecedented?) in NYC politics.

[Eraserhead]

Comptroller race is going to be very close but I think Stringer probably has it.

[cinyc]

AP projects Lhota the winner of the Republican mayoral primary.

Ha, yes it is.  It is looking like Thompson has to rely on the white ethnic vote and Asian vote to suppress his 40%.  A lot precincts in the Bronx that will

[jaichind]

The map of showing where Liu won is pretty much a "where do Asians in NYC live" map.

[Eraserhead]

Public Advocate race will go to a runoff between James and Squadron.
