Democrats largely undecided in primary for AG [View all]

A plurality of registered Democratic voters haven’t made up their mind about the four-way Democratic primary for state attorney general, according to a poll by Quinnipiac University.

New York City Public Advocate Tish James leads the field, with 26 percent, but she trails the 42 percent of registered Democrats who didn’t identify a candidate. U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney was at 15 percent, Zephyr Teachout was at 12 percent and Leecia Eve was at 3 percent.
