Election day is June 22. A poll of the New York Mayor's race, published May 25, 2021 in Newsweek shows the former sanitation commissioner currently leading, with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams in second and Yang in third:
Kathryn Garcia, the former New York City sanitation commissioner, took a lead over Andrew Yang and Eric Adams in a new New York City mayor poll. The poll, which was conducted by PIX11, NewsNation and Emerson College polling, found 21 percent of respondents supporting Garcia, which was the most among all Democratic candidates.
Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, followed closely behind Garcia, as 20 percent of respondents said they'd vote for him, according to the poll.
The poll found 16 percent of respondents siding with Yang, the former Democratic presidential candidate, while 10 percent said they'd vote for New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer and 9 percent sided with Maya Wiley, former counsel to current Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Yang comes across to me as not insane, which for a Democrat these days is pretty impressive. I don't think that his UBI idea will work, but if we're going to give it a try, I'd rather it be rolled out in a single city than nationwide. So, New Yorkers, do you feel like being the guinea pigs for the UBI experiment? If so, here's your chance!

I would think that the voters of New York could judge the sanitation commissioner on her performance in her former job, and vote accordingly. Is New York a particularly clean city? Nope. Is it at least less dirty than it was under her predecessors? Not sure, but this would at least provide an indication of how effective she might be as mayor.

This is the same crew that voted de Blasio into office - twice. As a result, it is very possible that any sort of responsible, rational criteria are not going to be determinative here.
He won't win, only the candidate endorsed by the NY Times will win
