A new poll shows a dramatic falloff in support for former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s comeback campaign to become New York City comptroller. He’s now tied with Democratic rival Scott Stringer.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows Stringer and the scandal-scarred Spitzer at 46 percent each among likely Democratic primary voters. Stringer is now Manhattan’s borough president.
Spitzer had a 56 percent to 37 percent lead in a Quinnipiac poll released just 15 days ago. The latest results come less than two weeks before the primary.
