Bad news for those who don’t want outspoken City Council Speaker Christine Quinn to win the New York City mayoral race – because Anthony Weiner is outta there.
Well, not exactly. But he has lost his lead in the race after revelations that he continued to send lewd messages and photographs of his private areas to a woman online…after he resigned from Congress for doing the same thing.
According to USA Today:
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn garners 25% support among Democratic primary voters compared with 16% for Weiner, according to the poll by NBC 4 New York, The Wall Street Journal and the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.
Before Weiner’s secrets were leaked to the nation, that same poll showed him leading Quinn by five percentage points.
“For many Democrats, the latest revelations about Anthony Weiner are more of the same, only more so,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “Weiner has lost his lead, and his negatives are at an all-time high.”
But Weiner isn’t budging, not even after two major papers in New York called for his resignation, along with New York residents who aren’t too happy about his sexual indiscretions.
Weiner, in his own words, said he is “working with people” to get help for sexting and said he does not believe his behavior is an addiction.
Well, that’s debatable. Any New Yorkers out there still willing to vote for the Weiner?
