New York City public advocate Bill de Blasio has pulled further ahead in the New York City mayoral race, coming close to the 40 percent threshold he'd need to avoid a runoff in the Democratic primary, according to a poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University.
De Blasio took 36 percent among likely Democratic primary voters, by far the largest share of the vote any candidate has garnered in polling so far. New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and former city comptroller Bill Thompson trailed at 21 and 20 percent, respectively. Three other candidates, former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), city comptroller John Liu and former city councilmember Sal Albanese, each polled in the single digits.
If there is a runoff, de Blasio would lead Quinn, 59 percent to 30 percent, and Thompson, 52 percent to 36 percent.

Do you think there will be an October runoff or will he be the democratic candidate in the general election?
How will he appear in front of Lhota?
What will the future of NY be under a new mayor?
Any thoughts? Chime in...
I bet Lhota must be laughing his way to the ballot box right now, given how the fortunes of his once lackluster campaign have changed. If the Democrats lose this election, they can blame themselves for fielding a weak frontrunner from the get go.
Bwahahaaaaaa available! Lhota is quietly sitting back waiting for the dust to settle, and then he will attack. Watching these morons destroy each other is fun. Don't be surprised if the outcome is not what everyone expects.

Like anyone is going to vote for the MTA chairman to be mayor.LOL.
The only Lhota v.De Blasio polls so far show De Blasio up by 30 or 40 points.

Have they debated? Wasn't Quinn a sure thing? Didn't Weiner lead by quite a bit not long ago? Listen, you have been around long enough to know these things can turn on a dime. DeBlasio stumbles or something comes up and just like that he loses his lead. I didn't say I wanted Lhota to win but you put any of those clowns in a debate with him and people listen to substance and not just go by emotions, polls can shift dramatically. In any case his strategy is sound, let these guys ruin each other and then go for broke one on one. Anything is possible, that's all im saying.
