Former Democratic lawmaker Anthony Weiner has edged ahead in the race for the party’s nomination for New York’s mayoral election, a poll showed Monday.
Weiner, who quit Congress in 2011 after it emerged he had exchanged sexually explicit messages and photos with various women on Twitter, now leads New York City Council speaker Christine Quinn.
The Quinnipiac University poll showed Weiner has opened up a three-point advantage over his rival, leading by 25 percent to 22 percent.
