*** Complete Tables for Poll Appended *** EMBARGOED UNTIL 11:30 P.M. on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 Contact: Lee M. Miringoff Barbara L. Carvalho Jaime Lynne Bishop Marist College, 845.575.5050

This NBC New York-Marist Poll of New York City reports: Nearly two years after resigning his Congressional seat due to a sexting scandal, how do New York City voters react to Anthony Weiners potential run for mayor? When he is included in the field of candidates for the Democratic nomination, Weiner receives the support of 15% of Democratic voters, placing him second after frontrunner Christine Quinn. Among registered Democrats in New York City, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate, if the Democratic primary were held today, here is how the contest would stand with Anthony Weiner in the race: 26% Christine Quinn 15% Anthony Weiner 12% John Liu 11% Bill de Blasio 11% Bill Thompson 2% Sal Albanese 1% Other 22% Undecided Right now, a Weiner candidacy attracts double-digit support in the Democratic primary, says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. He makes it even more difficult for any of the Democratic contenders to reach the needed forty percent to avoid a run-off. When Democratic voters are asked to select their preference in the primary for New York City mayor without Anthony Weiner in the race, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn continues to outpoll her rivals. However, her support has declined from a similar survey conducted in February. *All references to the survey results must be sourced as NBC New York-Marist Poll

Among registered Democrats in New York City including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate, if the Democratic primary were held today, here is how the contest would stand without Anthony Weiner in the race: 30% Christine Quinn 15% Bill de Blasio 14% Bill Thompson 11% John Liu 2% Sal Albanese 2% Other 26% Undecided When Marist last reported this question in February, 37% of Democratic voters including those who were undecided yet leaning toward a candidate supported Quinn. 13% backed Thompson, and 12% were for de Blasio. Nine percent supported Liu while only 2% backed Albanese. One percent was for another candidate, and 26% were undecided. To punctuate the fluidity of the Democratic primary contest, only 34% of Democrats who have a candidate preference are firmly committed to that candidate. 30% are somewhat behind their pick while 35% might vote differently. Two percent are unsure. In Februarys survey, three in ten Democrats with a candidate preference -- 30% -- said they strongly supported their choice. 34% were somewhat in their candidates corner while 32% thought they might vote differently on primary day. Three percent, at the time, were unsure. When Weiner is not in the Democratic primary field, Quinn and de Blasio are each four percentage points higher, and Thompson has three percentage points more in support. Undecided is also four percentage points higher when Weiner is not listed as a candidate. A Redemption Story? Democrats Not Keen on Weiner Run for Mayor, But As Weiner contemplates his return to elective politics, 40% of registered Democrats want Weiner to seek the mayoralty, while 46% do not want him to run. 14% are unsure. Citywide, only 37% want him to run, while 47% do not want to see him become a candidate for mayor this year. 16% are undecided.

How the Survey was Conducted Nature of the Sample: NBC New York/Marist Poll of 1,127 New York City Adults This survey of 1,127 New York City adults was conducted April 11th through April 15th, 2013. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in New York City were interviewed by telephone. Telephone numbers were selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the city. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each borough was represented in proportion to its population. To increase coverage, this landline sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of cell phone numbers. The samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2010 Census results for age, gender, income, race, and borough. Results for adults are statistically significant within 2.9 percentage points. There are 873 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within 3.3 percentage points. There are 556 Democrats. Results for this subset are statistically significant within 4.2 percentage. The error margin increases for cross-tabulations.
