New York City mayoral election, 2017 thread

[NewYorkExpress]

De Blasio corruption unfolds again. The city's economy is fairly decent, but trust in politicians as usual is at a low.

De Blasio will easily win reelection; the Giuliani/Bloomberg coalition of white ethnic outerborough voters can't get him out, but he will be pretty ineffective nationally for a white progressive big city mayor.

Well, this definitely torpedoes any dreams De Blasio had of running for President in 2020...

As for re-election, he's still favored, but since NY doesn't have early voting, Mallotakis now has a non-zero chance of winning.

Assuming De Blasio wins, which despite the corruption allegations, he still should, I suspect his total percentage will be reduced, as independents partially defect to either Malliotakis or Dietl.

My guess is something like;

 De Blasio 57.5%
Malliotakis 30%
Dietl 12.5%

That's still a very impressive margin of victory.
