Since officially jumping into the race, ex-congressman Anthony Weiner has moved up a bit in the latest New York City mayoral poll.

A Marist College survey released Tuesday showed Weiner with 19 percent among Democratic voters. That’s up from 15 percent last month, according to Marist. Weiner is still running second behind City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who garnered 24 percent.

Marist found Public Advocate Bill de Blasio with 12 percent, former City Comptroller William Thompson with 11 and current Comptroller John Liu with 8.

Marist’s numbers aren’t all that different from a Quinnipiac poll published last week. However, the Quinnipiac poll was taken before Weiner officially declared his candidacy. Marist surveyed 492 Democrats from May 22 to May 24. The survey’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
