There have been no citywide public polls of the DC mayor’s race. That changes today. I’m here with Giacomo Squatriti, one of the pollsters who conducted City Cast’s very own poll — which is full of jaw-dropping findings about the state of the mayoral race, DC’s new demographic divide, and the ways new Washingtonians are shaping this year’s vote. We are SO excited to dive into this – and there’s more coverage for you to check out on our website and in our newsletter this morning.
