Lefty upstart Zohran Mamdani has leapfrogged over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the city’s ranked choice Democratic primary for mayor, according to a stunning new poll released Monday.

In its hypothetical initial round of voting, Cuomo’s 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.

City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams follows with 8%, Scott Stringer 3% and 5% split between candidates Zellnor Myrie, Whitney Tilson, Jessica Ramos and Michael Blake, with another 4% undecided.

One person's 'shocking' is another person's 'uplifting'

On a very related note, fuck the NY Post

[–] shplane@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Agreed. I don’t know why people post from that source when there are many other, more reputable options

Something can be both shocking and uplifting, can it not? If I found out I won the lottery tomorrow then that would be both shocking and uplifting.

Sure. But that's not why they are chosing this verbiage.

Good.

~~Downrank~~ Don't rank Creeper Cuomo.

If you rank Cuomo, your vote might eventually be transferred to him. Which is why it's "Don't Rank Evil Andrew For Mayor".

[–] BoycottPro@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Right, that's why it's important if at all possible to rank five names if you can so even if your vote gets transferred five times it will still count however participating is the most important part so even if you don't have five names please vote and rank Zohran #1.

That makes sense.

*Don't rank...

This article does not contain any exclusive reporting and instead contains the usual right wing spin. Therefore there is no value in linking to NY Post which is owned by Rupert Murdoch the same person who owns Fox News. Visiting their websites helps support them with advertisement traffic and tracking.

How long until Mamdani is suicided? When are the elections?
