New poll shows Spitzer actually does hold big lead over Stringer after all
A new poll shows that Eliot Spitzer has a substantial lead over rival Scott Stringer in Democratic primary for New York City comptroller. That’s a sharp contrast to a recent survey that shows the race tied.
The poll was released Friday by Siena College and The New York Times. It shows that Spitzer, the former governor, is the choice of 50 percent of likely Democratic voters.
Stringer, the Manhattan borough president, is at 35 percent.
