Bill de Blasio's presidential campaign has burned down, fallen over and sunk into a swamp

One thing that usually happens in presidential contests is that voters who know the candidates — people the candidates have represented, for example — tend to show more support than voters elsewhere.

In July, for example, a PPIC poll found that Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D) had a narrow lead in the 2020 Democratic presidential nominating contest in her home state of California. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was in second, with three other candidates earning at least 5 percent support. Another 10 candidates got at least some support, 7 percent of the total.

This month, it was Warren’s turn. In her home state of Massachusetts, the state she represents in the Senate, Warren polled at 24 percent, just behind former vice president Joe Biden. The two of them were way out in front of the rest of the pack, a group that included most of the remaining candidates.

Sometimes, though, we get a solid poll looking at support in the Democratic primary in a place from which one of those candidates hails. On Tuesday, the Siena College Research Institute released a new poll looking at New York state — but which also included a look at support in New York City itself. New York City, you’re likely aware, is the jurisdiction of Mayor Bill de Blasio, who entered the Democratic primary in May.

How’s he doing on his home turf? As a millennial might say, [poop emoji].

1. That is painful

It also does not speak well of Booker who has been right across the river and shares a media market.
