Mayor London Breed slips in new poll and says she will skip Wednesday debate

Democratic San Francisco Mayor London Breed is slipping in the polls, falling behind former interim mayor Mark Farrell for the first time, according to a new survey.

With less than two months to go before the election, 20.6% of voters said they’d vote for Farrell as their first choice while 20.3% said they’d back Breed in the KRON4 News/Emerson College Poll. Daniel Lurie, a nonprofit executive and heir to the Levi’s fortune, is not far behind with 17.5% of voters backing him as their first choice.
