Andrew Yang and Eric Adams have been numbers 1 and 2, respectively, in polling of the Democratic race for mayor.

Both were on the campaign trail Monday, staying visible as they vie for the ultimate prize.

“I am so thrilled that New Yorkers see that we need a different form of leadership in this city," Yang said.

“We know the secret. We know the energy that’s taking place throughout this city. And we could care less about the numbers they come up with. We know what is happening on the ground,” Adams said.

Yang was in Cypress Hills, alongside Freelancers Union president Rafael Espinal, to pitch plans to improve access to affordable fresh and healthy groceries.

“When you’re in a food swamp in New York City, you know what you see much more of? Obesity and diabetes," he said. "These have disastrous health outcomes for children and families.”

The former presidential candidate was upbeat amid two polls, including one by Spectrum News NY1/Ipsos, showing he remains firmly at the front of the pack.

Meanwhile, Adams was surrounded by supporters are he marked the opening of his new campaign headquarters in Jamaica, part of the neighborhood where he must shore up support.

“Thank you, southeast Queens, a place that I know and understand, a place of my childhood," he said. "I know these streets so well. Linden Boulevard is Springfield Boulevard.”

One day earlier, the congressman representing the area, Gregory Meeks, threw his support to former Wall Street executive Ray McGuire for mayor.

Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, said the polls aren’t truly representative of his support. 

“My voters are not on social media," he said. "My voters are socializing in their churches, in their clubs, in their organizations.”


"We have always undercounted African-Americans, Hispanics and immigrant populations, always," he added.

Rounding the top four in polling have been City Comptroller Scott Stringer and former MSNBC analyst Maya Wiley.

Primary day is nine weeks away, but early voting starts in eight weeks.
