NYC progressives are going to lose the Dem primary to soaring crime

Gotham’s self-styled progressives are going to lose Tuesday’s Democratic mayoral primary, and they should be glad. 

The relentless chaos of the past few months shows that nobody cares about “progressive” issues, like bike lanes or a higher minimum wage, when crime is rising — all they care about is order. Multiple polls show: Voters’ main issue in this race is public safety.  Last week’s Post poll of potential Democratic voters shows that 29.4 percent rank crime as their most important issue, nearly triple the second big ­issue, housing, with 10.6 percent. The results mirror a Manhattan Institute poll showing that 52 percent of New Yorkers are worried about crime.
