New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg leads his Democratic challenger by 15 points in a new poll.
The Marist College survey questioned 525 likely voters from Monday through Wednesday. Bloomberg had 53 percent to Democrat William Thompson Jr.’s 38 percent. Five percent were undecided.
That’s similar to a Marist poll last week that had him leading by 16 points, and a Quinnipiac (KWIN’-ih-pee-ak) University poll on Monday that put the mayor 18 points ahead.
The Thompson campaign says its internal polls by pollster Geoff Garin show a smaller gap.
Friday’s Marist poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
