'We've never heard of that guy!'By DYLAN BYERS |

In New York City mayoral news, a Republican consultant was quoted in the Christian Science Monitor this week saying that internal polling by the Joe Lhota campaign showed many voters are uncomfortable with Bill de Blasio's "mixed marriage."
The only problem: The Lhota campaign has never heard of the guy.
"We don't even know who that guys is," Jessica Proud, a Lhota campaign spokesperson told POLITICO. "We've never shown him our internal polling, and we've never even polled for that question — nor would we."
"That guy" is David Johnson, an Atlanta-based pollster who came under scrutiny in 2009 after his firm's polling methods were widely criticized by The American Assocation for Public Opinion Research, Nate Silver, and several others.
