Lindsay Behind in Polls but Gaining Ground in Mayoral Race
New York Mayor John V. Lindsay says he remains behind in his bid for a second term but is gaining ground as the sole public poll shows him narrowly ahead of Democrat Mario Procaccino with Republican John Marchi trailing. The race, split parties and internal tensions widen with a February blizzard, garbage-strike, teachers strike and housing woes cited as challenges. Marchi and Procaccino tout law and order while denying racism, as endorsements shift and undecideds loom in a three-cornered fight ahead of the November vote.
