Anthony Weiner has a poll problem.
A new Quinnipiac University poll found the former congressman would land in second place at 15 percent if he jumped into the Democratic mayoral race today.
Weiner was perched in the same exact spot in a Marist College survey released on Tuesday.
But the latest poll put Weiner's favorability rating at a negative 33-41 percent, suggesting voters haven't forgotten or forgiven his lewd tweeting trysts in 2011 with women he met on the Internet.
Marist gave Weiner a far more respectable 45-41 percent favorability rating.

Anthony Weiner.
"With his better name recognition, former Congressman Anthony Weiner jumps into the mix at 15 percent," said Quinnipiac pollster Maurice Carroll.
"With his negatives, however, the question is whether he can get much higher."
Weiner has been laying the groundwork for a comeback and seems poised to enter the mayor's race next month.
If he does, both polls agree, it'll be difficult for any Democratic candidate to reach the 40 percent mark in the Sept. 10 primary needed to avert a run-off two weeks later.
According to Quinnipiac, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn continues to lead the field at 28 percent, followed by Weiner at 15 percent; Public Advocate Bill de Blasio at 11 percent; former Comptroller Bill Thompson at 10 percent and Comptroller John Liu at 9 percent. Twenty-four percent of voters were undecided.
The Q poll questioned 740 Democrats and was taken April 15-18. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.
