WASHINGTON _ Anna Greenberg was Bill de Blasio's pollster in 2013 when the then-candidate for New York City mayor defeated former front-runner Christine Quinn _ a victory Greenberg says was a case of the liberal de Blasio's ideology trumping Quinn's gender.
If the race were re-run today, she says the result would be different.
"That race felt like gender didn't matter," said Greenberg, who cited de Blasio's support among college-educated women as important to victory at the time. "And it's hard to see that this year. Because gender matters."
