Adams leads for NYC mayor, Wiley, Garcia battle for second in last-minute poll

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams is the top choice of a plurality of voters in New York City’s mayoral race, but the former NYPD captain is not a popular second and third pick, according to a new poll released hours before Tuesday’s primary.

The survey from Democratic firm Data for Progress conducted between June 18 and 20 puts Adams as the first choice of 26 percent of likely voters, followed by former City Hall lawyer Maya Wiley (21 percent), former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia (18 percent) and Andrew Yang (12 percent). Comptroller Scott Stringer rounds out the top five with five percent support, while six percent of voters remain undecided. With undecided voters excluded, each of the top three candidates receives a two-percentage point bump. Adams goes to 28 percent, Wiley remains second on 23 percent, while Garcia hits 20 percent. Yang remains in fourth on 13 percent, while no other candidate cracks double digits.
