The crowded field contending to succeed Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg in City Hall got an unexpected jolt last week from two polls with seemingly divergent findings. The first poll was accompanied by a news release proclaiming “Weiner Surpasses Quinn Among N.Y.C.

How could two polls offer such conflicting narratives? [cont.]
