Tomorrow, New York City's Democratic voters will begin the process of choosing their nominees for Mayor and District Attorney (a race we examined here). On the eve of the election, a new poll from Marist College shows that the race for the mayoral nod is still as close as ever.

Former Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer narrowly leads his closest opponent Congressman Anthony Weiner by six points among Democrats likely to vote in tomorrow’s primary for mayor. Ferrer receives the support of 35% of likely Democratic voters compared with 29% for Weiner. Manhattan Borough President C. Virginia Fields and Council Speaker Gifford Miller trail with 14% each. 8% of likely Democratic voters are undecided. When undecided likely Democratic voters who lean toward a candidate are included in the results, Fernando Ferrer receives 36%, Anthony Weiner has 29%, C. Virginia Fields has 16%, and Gifford Miller receives 15%. Only 4% of likely Democratic voters remain undecided.

Ferrer got the nomination of Al Sharpton yesterday, which could yield him an unexpected boost tomorrow. Should it not, however, and Weiner indeed forces a primary, look for the runoff between the two to be as toughly fought as any in the nation.
