Poll: Weiner constituents say stay

Poll: Weiner constituents say stay 10 Jun 2011 Even as colleagues and commentators continue to call on Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) to resign, a majority of voters in his district want him to stay put, although support for his re-election was weak, according to a new poll. A NY1-Marist poll conducted Wednesday in Weiner's district, representing parts of Brooklyn and Queens, found 56 percent of registered voters there saying that the embattled congressman should not quit. Weiner has cited support shown in earlier polls of all New York City residents as a reason why he won't step down.
