In a jolt to the Democratic campaign for mayor, a new poll suggests that Bill de Blasio, the most liberal of the leading candidates, has vaulted into first place among likely voters.
With one month to go until the Sept. 10 primary, Mr. de Blasio has now passed Christine C. Quinn, the City Council speaker, who had led in most polls for months, although her lead had already narrowed.
Until a month or so ago, Mr. de Blasio had been mired in fourth place, about 10 points behind Ms. Quinn. He was then overtaken by former Representative Anthony D. Weiner, who momentarily overwhelmed the field after entering the race.

New Yawka’s be dissing the hateful lesbian, yo?
The most liberal candidate... haha... let him build a New Detroit.
By what criteria are they judging him the most liberal? Especially when the competition is Quinn & Wiener!
New York will be needing another Federal bailout, except by then the Federal government will be so far into debt that they won’t be able to bail out a rowboat.
DeBlasio is married to a black ex-lesbian.
Quinn’s Coe out with some crazystatemenrs and positions, and without her help, Bloomberg couldn’t have gotten his illegal and immoral third term. (Neither could she have gotten her own.)
Yeah, that's like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson arguing over who's a bigger race baiter....
Another commie lib “mayor”. More proof that you just can’t fix stupid.
That's a pretty good start for his liberal credentials list.
Weiner’s “name” recognition was apparently the reason for both his rise - and ultimate plummet.
If the elite want him, even Anthony Weiner would get the appointment. I think the are getting more and more brash just to demoralize us.
Weiner is down, eh?
According to my sources, people were heard to say when he first got into the race, “I recognize that Weiner” and later, as his fortunes fell....
Every time I read another news story about the NYC mayoral race .... Alice in Wonderland pops into my mind!
Hang on... this de Blasio guy is to the LEFT of Anthony “can I show you my” Weiner AND the openly lesbian marxist city council speaker? Yikes! How is that even possible?
That’s a man, baby!
There is also a GOP primary on Sept. 10 with three RINOish candidates on the ballot, all of whom seem to like Bloomberg, and all of whom seek to distance themselves from the 'Rats on the crime issues. Only one seems to have the money to create a competitive general election.
