A bitter feud has erupted between Democrat Bill de Blasio and Republican Joe Lhota over reports that Lhota's campaign might have polled voters about their feelings on mixed-race marriage.

GOP consultant David Johnson was recently quoted in a Christian Science Monitor article saying that internal Lhota campaign polls show voters are uncomfortable with a mixed-race marriage. De Blasio is white and his wife is black. Lhota's team denied the report, insisting they didn't even know Johnson.
