More than 35 respondents said Mayor Ed Lee was their first choice for mayor, according to a new Bay Citizen/USF Poll.
According to the Bay Citizen:
More than 31 percent of respondents said Lee was their first choice, while only 8.1 percent chose his closest rival, City Attorney Dennis Herrera. The poll found that John Avalos, the liberal supervisor from the Excelsior District, who has the endorsement of San Francisco’s Democratic Party, was the top choice of 7.4 percent of respondents. State Sen. Leland Yee, once considered a leading contender, earned only 6.5 percent of first-place votes.
Some 21 percent of respondents said they remained undecided.
The poll shows George Gascón leading by a wide margin for district attorney, and Lee’s pension reform proposition doing well.
