The results of the poll, first reported by Daily News political columnist Ben Smith on his blog yesterday, show City Council members Yvette Clarke (D-Flatbush) and David Yassky (D-Brooklyn Heights) with 20% of the vote each.

State Sen. Carl Andrews (D-Crown Heights) and Chris Owens, son of retiring incumbent Major Owens, both got 19% of the vote in the survey conducted by pollster Tom Kiley and paid for by a private company.
