ANTHONY WEINER Polling on comptroller race.
It looks like Anthony Weiner is testing the waters for a possible run for city comptroller.
Two politically connected Manhattan residents received calls from a pollster asking about a possible match-up between the former Queens congressman and Scott Stringer, the Manhattan borough president, who is considered the heavy favorite in the race.
“It was strictly about Scott and Weiner,” said one woman who was called Sunday.
Polls are expensive and are typically seen as a first move to determine if a candidate has a feasible chance before launching a campaign.
Weiner, who was driven from office in 2011 following an infamous sexting scandal, is sitting on a $3.9 million war chest. Stringer has only $2.3 million so far.
Weiner did not return calls and Stringer declined to comment.
