Showing Original Post only (View all)Mamdani leads Cuomo in new poll [View all]
https://nypost.com/2025/06/23/us-news/poll-shows-mamdani-overtaking-cuomo-in-nycs-ranked-choice-primary/In its hypothetical initial round of voting, Cuomos lead shrinks to 3 percentage points, with 35% of likely Democratic voters supporting him compared to 32% for Mamdani and 13% for city Comptroller Brad Lander, the Emerson College Polling/Pix 11/The Hill survey found.
Mamdani finally surpasses Cuomo in the eighth round of the simulated ranked choice voting 51.8% to 48.2% in the latest poll conducted June 18-20.
I think this is the second poll showing Mamdani ahead of Cuomo, but the first showing him ultimately winning.

Mamdami would have my vote by a wide margin if I was voting in that election...

IMHO, FDR picked up the broke-ass apple cart, put the wheels back on, and got a bunch of fruit back into it

No surprise, we elect a serial sexual harasser and they get free ammo to call us hypocrites in regards to womens rights.

Looking into things more, MAGA support explains why Cuomo is setting the stage for third-party ratfuckery.

Most people in the world neither know or care about the mayor of NYC. NYC mayor is hardly "the beacon of the Dem party"

I don't think NYC mayor is the "beacon of the Dem party", but I would say that the mayor of NYC is more nationally

I don't. I think the only one who would have remotely a shot is Cuomo if he runs as an indepndent.

I dont know anything about New York. Is it safe to assume that Staten Island is fairly affluent?

Yeah, it's also the most suburban of the five boroughs, and the only place where you can find a parking space

So whats the baggage that Mamdani carries, and how is it worse than Cuomos history of sexual harassment?

Socialist might as well be a catch-all phrase that Republicans use, and given the recent attacks on Iran...

Good. I hope the serial sexual harasser Cuomo goes down to defeat. His candidacy is a giant FU to all women
