Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo Leads NYC Mayoral Poll

Politico reports:

The well-known Cuomo topped the candidates with 32 percent when likely Democratic voters were asked to choose a favorite candidate in what will be a ranked-choice election. Following him were former city Comptroller Scott Stringer at 10 percent; his successor Brad Lander at 8 percent; state Sen. Jessica Ramos at 7 percent; and Adams and state Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani at 6 percent.

The ranked choice survey demonstrates that Adams — who won in 2021 in the city’s first ranked-choice mayoral election — would not benefit from the relatively new practice. He stayed at 8 percent from rounds one through four, at which point he was eliminated. The primary is on June 24, but most candidates are still waiting to receive taxpayer-backed matching funds and have not begun airing TV ads.
