Weiner Falls in NYC Mayor Poll After More Lewd Web Exchanges
This article is for subscribers only.
Anthony Weiner lost his lead among seven Democratic candidates for New York mayor in the first poll since he said he engaged in lewd Internet exchanges more than a year after resigning from Congress over similar behavior.
The NBC 4/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released two days after the scandal showed that Weiner had slipped to a statistical three-way tie for second place, with 16 percent support among registered Democrats, after coming in first with 25 percent in a June 25 poll. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn topped the field in the new survey with 25 percent after receiving 20 percent last month.
