Univision poll indicates Peralta has commanding lead over Monserrate

With less than three weeks to go until voters in the 13th Senatorial District go to the polls in the special election, a Univision poll indicates state Assemblyman José Peralta has a commanding lead over former state Sen. Hiram Monserrate [D-Jackson Heights.]

The survey indicates 78 percent of respondents support Peralta, as opposed to 22 percent who back Monserrate. It's practically a foregone conclusion Peralta will easily win the March 16 special election, but the group of Queens religious leaders who endorsed Monserrate earlier this week proves the former New York City Councilmember still has support in spite of his conviction last October of misdemeanor assault against his girlfriend in his Jackson Heights apartment in Dec. 2008.

Stay tuned...

Has Peralta indicated he is pro-gay marriage?

Peralta is pro-marriage. The Pride Agenda endorsed him in December. Councilmember Danny Dromm and other LGBT politicos and activists in the borough continue to actively campaign for Peralta.
