NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Yankees might own far more world championships than the Mets, but the Amazins are New York City’s most popular team, according to a new poll.
A Quinnipiac University survey released Friday shows that 45 percent of NYC baseball fans prefer the Mets, compared to 43 percent who favor the Bronx Bombers. The difference, however, is within the the 3.6-percentage-point margin of error.
“In the Big Apple … it looks like the 2017 baseball season will be a close race between the Yankees and the Mets,” Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a news release.
