Andrew Cuomo Leads NYC Mayoral Poll as Adams Faces Mounting Challenges

A new poll shows former Governor Cuomo as the frontrunner, while Mayor Adams struggles with low approval and allegations of ties to Trump.

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo leads a hypothetical New York City Democratic mayoral primary poll with 35% support, well ahead of other candidates.
Mayor Eric Adams, seeking reelection, is grappling with an 83% unfavorable rating and accusations of aligning with President Trump amid a federal corruption case.
The Honan Strategy Group poll places Adams at just 9% support, tied for third place, and predicts his elimination in a ranked-choice voting simulation.
The poll highlights a surge of progressive, anti-Trump voters who are expected to significantly influence the June Democratic primary.
Cuomo has not officially entered the race but is viewed as a favorite due to his name recognition and perceived strength on key issues like crime and infrastructure.
