Thanksgiving Poll Shows Lhota and Carrion as TURKEYS

   Here is one from Celeste Katz of the New York Daily News titled- Q-poll-2013-mayoral-runs-by-Joe-Lhota-Adolfo-Carrion-Jr-would-be-turkeys .

   Ms. Katz says that a poll recently taken by Quinnipiac University asking about the current MTA head Joe Lhota as the Republican candidate vs. the Democratic candidate is currently at 60% for the Democrat and only 9% for Lhota with apparently 31% undecided. This after what appears to be the way that Lhota got the MTA back on course after Hurricane Sandy raising interest by some to have Lhota run for mayor.. 

   Let us not forget former Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion Jr, and his push to run for mayor on the Republican line with his $1.1 million dollar war chest (from another citywide race he never did) to entice Republican County Leaders for the nod. It may not be the same type of money as Mike Bloomberg tossed around, but it may be better than Lhota can. Katz says that the poll shows Carrion two points higher than Lhota at 11%, but also has the Democrat two points higher at 62% with apparently only 27% undecided. 

   One bright spot was that City Council Speaker Christine Quinn led the pack of Democrats at only 32% of those questioned. Former City Comptroller Bill Thompson at 10%; Public Advocate Bill de Blasio at 9%;  City Comptroller John Liu at 5%, and apparently 44% undecided. Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer announced that he was going to run for City Comptroller, and it is not known what percentage he received. .
