A defiant Anthony Weiner said again Tuesday he will not quit the race for New York City mayor, vowing in a new video that he'll continue to fight amid the furor over his lewd messages to women.
"Quit isn't the way we roll in New York City," Weiner said in the minute-long video posted on his campaign website. "We fight through tough things."
Weiner's video message comes after the Quinnipiac Poll shows he has dropped to fourth place in the Democratic field and trails City Council Speaker Christine Quinn by 11 percentage points among likely Democratic primary voters. The primary is Sept. 10.
Weiner acknowledged last week that he sent salacious messages to women even after he resigned from Congress in 2011. He has rejected calls to quit the race, even as public opinion polls show his support fading.
