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.
Lol. New Yorkers be like: this guy scares rich people. ✅
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.

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.

Who the fuck would vote for Adams at this point?

I hate that I’m already depressed about what they’re going to do to him or NYC in general…
I know nothing has happened yet and the election isn’t until November, but there isn’t a single goddamn thing about this country, especially with the so called leader we have now, that makes me think they will simply allow him to become Mayor. Socialists, Democratic socialists, whatever, simply aren’t allowed to hold real positions of power. The entire system is freaking out over the prospect… A single seat in Congress isn’t worth causing a mess over, but running “the financial center of the world” and a city that contains the richest people on earth definitely is to them…
Ether Trump takes over NYC like he’s already threatened, they deport him, or the Democrats commit political suicide and get caught sabotaging his election. I have 0 faith that he simply wins and gets to be Mayor.

They’ll let him be Mayor. They won’t let him do anything, though.
All of a sudden the city council decides they need curb the power of the mayoral office.

Is this race a majority or plurality wins?
Ranked choice

Adams will quit and endorse Cuomo last min 99.9% sure, Silwa> 50% IMO.
So I think it’s a toss up at best.

There is going to be a LOT of Republican fuckery. I hope he’s up for a fight.
I think you mean Democrat fuckery. The Republicans already said they want to deport him to his face.
Republican don’t have fuckery they just say what evil thing they are gonna do then go ahead and set it in motion all on Twitter for everyone to see.
Democrats run a primary to pick the candidate to run then when it’s not the guy they want behind closed doors they start the fuckery in secret.
Mamdani isn’t committing fuckery, how dare you?
…what? Who is this in response to?
Jimmycakes is accusing Democrats of fuckery but I think Zohan is a going to be a great mayor. He’s the DNC Candidate on the ballots.
