Bottom of the Barrel: Bill de Blasio Polling at 5% in New York Governor’s RaceHannah Bleau 23 Nov 2021
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) is failing to garner significant support in his prospective gubernatorial run in New York, a Data for Progress survey released this week found.
In October, rumors swirled of de Blasio, whose term as New York City mayor is reaching its end, privately telling individuals of his intention to mount a bid for governor of the Empire State. One month later, the Democrat governor — famous for bragging about cutting off unvaccinated individuals from everyday activities in the city — filed paperwork with the Board of Elections, taking a concrete step in the direction of formally launching a bid.
However, New Yorkers do not appear to be excited about his potential entrance into the race.
“If the 2022 Democratic primary election for New York State governor were being held tomorrow, and these were the candidates, who would you vote for?” the survey asked, listing de Blasio, New York Attorney General Letitia James, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY), and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who replaced disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).
De Blasio comes in dead last in that scenario, garnering five percent support. Hochul sees the most support with 39 percent, followed by James (24 percent), Williams (9 percent), and Suozzi (7 percent). Another 16 percent remain unsure:
