Left leaning PAC to deploy policy poll in making case against Yang
As the primary race for New York City mayor heads into the final 10 weeks, a left-leaning group buoyed by a new poll showing popularity for its chief policy goals is gearing up to make a public case against frontrunner Andrew Yang.

But the same 509 voters said they are looking for a candidate committed to shifting resources away from the NYPD, expanding affordable housing and increasing taxes on high earners to underwrite the city’s recovery from Covid-19.
