Once the clear frontrunner in the Democratic mayor’s race, Andrew Yang has tumbled to as low as fourth place in the limited public polling being released as Primary Day nears.

But he maintains his numbers show him positioned to win, boosted by new voters.

  • Yang is as low as fourth place in the race's limited recent public polls

  • Yang team says he has support among blocs like Asian-American and Orthodox Jewish voters

  • Rivals Yang and Kathryn Garcia to campaign together Saturday

“Our team just did a poll of the people that have actually voted and it had us in the lead," Yang said Friday. "The numbers show also that 30 to 40% of the voters are new voters and we think they’re coming out in droves for change.”

His campaign indicates some of its support will come from voting blocs that are traditionally under-polled.

“We do feel like we are getting our voters out now," said co-campaign manager Chris Coffey. "It’s a very strong Asian number among folks who’ve already voted, Orthodox Jewish number is pretty good, Staten Island’s a little bit higher than it usually is, not by much, but a little bit.”

The president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association that’s endorsed Yang told NY1 he believes voters are switching parties to back Yang.

“And I believe they’re going to come out for a moderate like Andrew Yang,” Andrew Ansbro said.

Earlier in the week, State Assemblyman Daniel Rosenthal, another Yang endorser, told us Orthodox Jewish voters are also turning out in big numbers for Yang.

“We’ve seen a tremendous get-out-the-vote effort in the Jewish community," he said alongside Yang. "The Jewish community is concerned about the direction of New York City. There’s been a tremendous rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes. They’re worried about the affordability of New York City and raising families here in a safe environment.”

Queens borough president candidate Elizabeth Crowley also referenced public safety as she appeared Friday with Yang for a cross-endorsement event in Bayside.

“Andrew will work to keep New York City’s streets safe,” she said.

Yang's poll of early voters show Eric Adams one percentage point behind Yang in first-choice votes.

Adams spokesman Menashe Shapiro called the survey “yet another Trumpian attempt by Yang to create facts that mislead voters,” saying it counted less than 1% of the total early votes cast so far.

Later Friday, the Adams team was on the defense as Yang and Kathryn Garcia announced a joint get-out-the-vote operation for Saturday.
