NYC Democratic Mayoralty Primary: Adams Leads with Garcia, & Wiley in Final Round Top Tier Monday, June 14, 2021

This month’s Democratic primary for New York City mayor is an election marked by heightened uncertainty – unknown turnout levels, a June primary for the first time for mayor, a large field of candidates, a sizeable number of undecided voters, and the introduction of ranked-choice voting.

According to this WNBC/Telemundo 47/POLITICO/Marist Poll, Eric Adams (24%) leads the field of candidates among New York City likely Democratic primary voters in their first-choice selection. Kathryn Garcia (17%), Maya Wiley (15%), and Andrew Yang (13%) follow. Support for the other Democratic candidates is within single digits in this first round.

Adams is the first choice among all demographic groups, except for whites, likely Democratic primary voters under the age of 45, those who identify as very liberal or liberal, and Jewish voters. Garcia is the number-one choice for whites (28%), Jewish voters (26%), and those who identify as liberal (25%). Younger voters (22%) and those who identify as very liberal (34%) select Wiley as their first-choice candidate. Adams does exceptionally well among Blacks (43%) in this first-round ranking.

Ranked-choice voting allows voters to rank up to five candidates on the ballot in order of preference. In turn, candidates with the lowest vote totals in multiple rounds will be eliminated and voters’ support will be given to their next-choice candidates until one candidate receives more than fifty percent of the vote.

In the survey, more than one in four (26%) likely Democratic primary voters only selected a first-choice candidate. 23% chose a first and second choice. 18% ranked three candidates while 9% selected four candidates. Nearly one in four (24%) ranked five candidates.

In the final ranking, the survey estimate, calculated with the assistance of FairVote,1 shows Eric Adams and Kathryn Garcia as the last candidates standing with 12 points separating Adams (56%) and Garcia (44%). No candidate comes within eight percentage points of Adams in any of the rankings leading up to the final round. Of note, Wiley remains competitive until the penultimate round.

“Primary polling always has levels of uncertainty even in traditional elections,” says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of the Marist Poll. “But in this case, with ranked-choice voting, each round is another survey estimate which leads to additional statistical uncertainty. The contest involving the top-tier candidates remains fluid.”

Among the top three candidates – Adams, Garcia, and Wiley – likely Democratic primary voters in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens prefer Adams while those in Manhattan favor Garcia. Although likely Democratic primary voters in Staten Island were interviewed for this survey and included in citywide results, the proportional size of the borough in the survey sample is too small to report separately.

3 How the Survey was Conducted

Nature of the Sample: WNBC/Telemundo 47/POLITICO/Marist Poll of 876 New York City Likely Democratic Primary Voters

This survey of 876 likely Democratic primary voters was conducted June 3rd through June 9th, 2021 by The Marist Poll sponsored in partnership with WNBC, Telemundo 47, and POLITICO. Likely Democratic primary voters were contacted on landline or mobile numbers and interviewed by telephone using live interviewers. Survey questions were available in English or Spanish. Using the L2 voter file of New York City registered Democrats, mobile and landline telephone numbers were randomly selected based on voters’ likelihood of participating in the Democratic primary for mayor. The full sample is balanced to age, gender, race, and region based on the voter registration list information and adjusted for turnout in similar elections. Assistance was provided by Luce Research for data collection and FairVote for ranked choice voting survey estimates. Results for the entire sample of likely Democratic primary voters are statistically significant within ±3.8 percentage points. Tables include results for subgroups to only display crosstabs with an acceptable sampling error. It should be noted that although you may not see results listed for a certain group, it does not mean interviews were not completed with those individuals. It simply means the sample size is too small to report. The error margin was adjusted for sample weights and increases for cross-tabulations.
