Poll: New Yorkers Not Ready To Vote For 2013 Mayor

040211spitzer.jpg Do you know who you're voting for in 2013? Why the hell not? Fine, you can join the other 27 percent of New Yorkers who are still "undecided" about who they would support in the 2013 mayoral election. However, even if they don't know who they want, they know that Eliot Spitzer should stay far away from the ballot. In a Marist poll, 62 percent of registered voters say that the former Governor and CNN pundit should not run for mayor. So who's the mayoral frontrunner?

About 18 percent of registered voters say they would support Congressman Anthony Weiner for mayor, followed by 15 percent for Former New York City Comptroller Bill Thompson, and 13 percent for Comptroller John Liu and Christine Quinn. But just 29 percent said that Spitzer should run (not necessarily that they would vote for him). "He was governor, he lost the seat because of the scandal, and people are not at this point willing to talk in terms of any kind of new Eliot Spitzer, as far as a political career is concerned," said Marist Pollster Lee Miringoff told NY1. However, that's up from the 24 percent who thought he should run in October. At that rate he'll have over 50 percent support by 2013! That's how percentages work, right?

    I'm actually leaning Quinn? She gets way more hate than she deserves.

    I would definitely vote for spitzer if he came out as wanting to keep Janette sadi-khan.

    I would definitely vote for Spitzer. It would be interesting to have a heterosexual mayor for a change.

    Everyone of those options are scum. Vote for Bloomberg AGAIN.
