Democrats largely undecided in primary for AG

[TexasTowelie]

A plurality of registered Democratic voters haven’t made up their mind about the four-way Democratic primary for state attorney general, according to a poll by Quinnipiac University.

New York City Public Advocate Tish James leads the field, with 26 percent, but she trails the 42 percent of registered Democrats who didn’t identify a candidate. U.S. Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney was at 15 percent, Zephyr Teachout was at 12 percent and Leecia Eve was at 3 percent.

“The clear winner in the Democratic primary for State Attorney General right now is undecided. Democrats ticked the ‘don’t know’ column more than any other. That stretches across almost every demographic group,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Mary Snow said in a statement.

Despite the primary being less than two months away, the poll didn’t narrow down to likely voters for the Sept. 13 election. The Democratic primary electorate will likely be a fraction of the number of registered voters.

1. This is because hardly anyone knows about it. I'm on the county Dem committe, but I've gotten...

nothing on the AG.

Nothing.

I don't expect an endorsement, but maybe a voters' guide wouldn't be too much effort?
