C from 538
I'm SHOCKED. SHOCKED by this poll. The foxes are running the hen house, cats are chasing dogs, the rain is going UP! NYC political heavyweights Eric Adams and Scott Stringer are playing second fiddle to a shockingly successful but nevertheless 3rd tier Presidential candidate. This poll could be garbage, but even if it's 10 points off, Yang is here to stay if he runs (barring a sudden collapse or terrible campaign).
It's choice of candidates is odd (no McGuire, Quinn is a LOL), but still...wow. Probably just name recognition though.
Call it identity politics, but I'm always in favor of getting more Asian-American representation into office. I'd be okay with this considering it's New York City.
