Daily News | The Philadelphia mayor’s race is a five-way tie, poll shows
ahead of the May 16 Democratic primary. The victor will be well-positioned to win in November, given Philadelphia’s heavily Democratic electorate.State Rep. Amen Brown, pastor Warren Bloom Sr., and retired Judge James DeLeon each garnered support from about 2% of respondents.Primaries are notoriously difficult to poll, especially in off-year elections, given the smaller number of people who vote and the higher propensity of primary voters to change their mind than in a general election.
The poll shows Jeff Brown, a grocer who was considered an early front-runner, may have lost some ground with voters since February, when his campaign released an internal poll showing him leading the pack. ButWith more than two weeks until election day,— money that could sway voters through advertisements, mailers, TV commercials, and door-knocking operations.
The Committee of Seventy poll also asked respondents to rank the candidates and then ran a simulation to see who would win in a ranked-choice-voting scenario where the lowest vote-getters got knocked out round by round if one candidate didn’t win a majority outright. Philadelphia does not have ranked-choice voting. But in that simulation, Rhynhart beat Parker in the final round. The poll was done in partnership with FairVote, which advocates for ranked-choice voting. The nonprofit Urban Affairs Coalition, the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Citizen were also partners.
Survey USA conducted the poll April 21-25 and interviewed 1,500 Philadelphia adults via phone and text.
