Eliot Spitzer has a wide lead over Democratic rival Scott Stringer in the first poll conducted largely since the New York City comptroller rivals faced off in heated debates.
The Quinnipiac University poll was released Wednesday.
The scandal-scarred former New York governor gets support from 56 percent of likely Democratic voters. Stringer gets 37 percent. Stringer is Manhattan’s borough president.
