Cuomo of New York in January has narrowed, the Gallup Poll reported. Hart received 39% of first- and second-place nomination votes to 27% for Cuomo, followed by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, with 18%; Chrysler Corp. Chairman Lee A. Iacocca, 14%; Mayor Tom Bradley, 7%; New Jersey Sen. Bill Bradley, 6%; West Virginia Sen. John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV, 6%; former Virginia Gov. Charles S. Robb, 5%, and San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein, 4%.
