Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani holds a 10 point lead over Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s general election for mayor, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams trails in fourth place behind Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, according to a new poll.
Mamdani gets support from 35 percent of registered voters, followed by Cuomo with 25, Sliwa with 14, Adams at 11 and attorney Jim Walden at 1 percent. Thirteen percent of respondents said they weren’t sure, while 1 percent picked another candidate.
Who the fuck would vote for Adams at this point?

“… person who want to give people living wages, free buses, childcare?! pff, these evil commies”
It’s so funny to see institutional democrats turning on Zohran and institutional republicans turning on Silwa.
Democracy means absolutely nothing to these people.
Nothing has exposed the hypocrisy of the Establishment Democrats than David Hogg getting into the DNC, and Zohran crushing the Chosen Democrat in the primary.
The Tea Party had to take control of the Republican Party before it could evolve into MAGA, and the Progressives are going to have to take over the Democratic Party before they can establish a true Constitutional government.

Or Cuomo.
13% undecided? I’m not holding my breath. The fascists and the faithless Democrats are gonna do whatever it takes to tank him.
NYC get out and knock on some doors!!!
It’ll be really telling if Silwa drops out to support Cuomo
I have been told to Vote Blue No Matter Who and I am a loyal democrat. Zohran has my vote.
Good! May it not only continue, but increase!
I really hope he’s got independent security. Because New York’s biggest gang has already started making threats.
Don’t mess with the Zohran!
Imagine doing such a bad job as mayor that even as an incumbent, you’re polling behind Curtis Sliwa.
Vote NYC, vote!
I can’t wait to see what nefarious shit awaits us knowing how popular he is and how many powerful the unpopular have become
What other cities have ranked-choice voting or approval voting?
Zohran The Destroyer (of class inequality, oligarchy).
Time to fall the f in line.
What was that phrase, again? Oh yeah: “VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO.”
YES!
Lol. New Yorkers be like: this guy scares rich people. ✅
I’m low key pretty concerned about Mamdani’s safety - between (essentially official, government-supported) expressions of stochastic terrorism, to weaponization of immigration law and enforcement, to straight up assassination attempts by far right wing-nuts, I will honestly be very pleasantly surprised if he makes it to the election without someone trying something pretty serious.
And to be clear, I do hope he makes it to the election, and wins, and that his term as mayor makes it blindingly obvious to the vast majority of people that Mamdani’s tactics are the clear way forward. I’m also just fully aware that we’re in the “kicking and screaming” phase with reactionaries, and that those same people are running shit now.
The realistic thing that’s gonna happen is that Mamdani is gonna win, then city council is gonna block every policy he proposes. Then next election (if the country doesn’t fall apart by then) the billionarie ads be like: “Mamdani can’t do anything!”
Like Obama for the most part.
By this point, the world is like that, eagerly watching if the guy can upset such a corrupt, biased system.
So he will definitely be the democratic nominee, right? And now he’s going against a republican in the general election? When is it?
He is the Democratic nominee. As the post says, he’s mostly going against the former Democratic, current independent, mayor Andrew Cuomo more than the republican candidate.
Ah I missed that, sorry. But that’s hilarious, I can imagine the Republican-level mental gymnastics that many democrats are now required to pull off so they can still support Cuomo.
Now it’s time for the “vote blue no matter who” crowd to put up or shut up. So far, party loyalty doesn’t seem very important to a lot of the establishment.
That’s because they only support “democracy” when it is ruled by a corporate oligarchy. Neolibs will not abandon neoliberalism when it becomes unpopular, they will abandon the illusion of democracy; just like conservatives did.
Meh. We’ll see what happens when it threatens their office. A lot of them have already started changing their rhetoric.
35 percent do. I am mildly worried what happens with ranked choice voting and all the idiots that are voting for the rest of the losers. It’s not like the Democratic primary where basically all the “no chance” rank 1 people were gonna put Mamdani as their second or third choice.
I would guess, with nothing but feelings, that a lot of the Cuomo voters would choose him before a Republican, but who knows really?
Edit: I believe this will be FPtP though.
NYC has ranked choice voting.
New York City will use ranked choice voting for Primary and Special Elections for the offices of Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, Borough President and City Council, due to an amendment in the City Charter approved by voters in 2019.
This appears to say that it is for primaries, not the general election.
General election is still FPTP plurality wins.
It’s almost as if they planned for this as a contingency plan in case an anti-establishment candidate won the primary.
Remember, polls aren’t votes. Go vote (when it’s time).
