The turbulent race to lead the country’s biggest city hit another unexpected bump.
The contest has a new leader; the early front-runner appears to be in serious jeopardy; and the man who has gobbled up most of the attention -- sext-scandal-plagued former congressman Anthony Weiner -- is fading fast.
Weiner, who flirted briefly with the lead in the race, gets just 10 percent and is in fourth place. Weiner has seen his standing collapse in the past month after it was revealed that he continued to have sexually explicit online conversations with women who weren’t his wife even after resigned from Congress in 2011.
In the poll, 51 percent now say they definitely won't vote for Weiner under any circumstances, and 58 percent say he has either has little or no moral character.
