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.
Zohran The Destroyer (of class inequality, oligarchy).
I can’t wait to see what nefarious shit awaits us knowing how popular he is and how many powerful the unpopular have become
Imagine doing such a bad job as mayor that even as an incumbent, you’re polling behind Curtis Sliwa.
I really hope he’s got independent security. Because New York’s biggest gang has already started making threats.
Don’t mess with the Zohran!
What other cities have ranked-choice voting or approval voting?
This is HORRIBLE News!
-The Democrats!
The Democrats, as played by Prince John from Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Yes. But unironically. We finally found out what it would have been like if Bernie has won the primary. The Dems would have thrown everything at him losing the general. Probably calling him antisemitic along the way.
So what? That doesn’t mean it would’ve worked.
Remember, polls aren’t votes. Go vote (when it’s time.
Lol. New Yorkers be like: this guy scares rich people. ✅
By this point, the world is like that, eagerly watching if the guy can upset such a corrupt, biased system.
So he will definitely be the democratic nominee, right? And now he’s going against a republican in the general election? When is it?
He is the Democratic nominee. As the post says, he’s mostly going against the former Democratic, current independent, mayor Andrew Cuomo more than the republican candidate.
Now it’s time for the “vote blue no matter who” crowd to put up or shut up. So far, party loyalty doesn’t seem very important to a lot of the establishment.
That’s because they only support “democracy” when it is ruled by a corporate oligarchy. Neolibs will not abandon neoliberalism when it becomes unpopular, they will abandon democracy; just like conservatives did.
Meh. We’ll see what happens when it threatens their office. A lot of them have already started changing their rhetoric.
Ah I missed that, sorry. But that’s hilarious, I can imagine the Republican-level mental gymnastics that many democrats are now required to pull off so they can still support Cuomo.
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.
New York City will use ranked choice voting for Primary and Special Elections for the offices of Mayor, Public Advocate, Comptroller, Borough President and City Council, due to an amendment in the City Charter approved by voters in 2019.
This appears to say that it is for primaries, not the general election.
General election is still FPTP plurality wins.
It’s almost as if they planned for this as a contingency plan in case an anti-establishment candidate won the primary.
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.
The realistic thing that’s gonna happen is that Mamdani is gonna win, then city council is gonna block every policy he proposes. Then next election (if the country doesn’t fall apart by then) the billionarie ads be like: “Mamdani can’t do anything!”
Like Obama for the most part.
Good! May it not only continue, but increase!
Adams will quit and endorse Cuomo last min 99.9% sure, Silwa> 50% IMO.
So I think it’s a toss up at best.
Silwa is currently polling at 14%, last election he was polling at 25%, so it’s not happening. the best chance against Mamdani is still cuomo
I didn’t realize Curtis Sliwa was still alive.
I have been told to Vote Blue No Matter Who and I am a loyal democrat. Zohran has my vote.
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.
…yeah? Democrat fuckery, as in the DNC and Cuomo. No one here is accusing Mamdani of anything.
Cuomo is a third party. The Democrats have put forth Mamdani on their ticket.
I think the accusation is against cuomo and his billionaire doners
The republican aint winning, this is a blue vs blue
In NYC? This is heavy (D) turf. Blue municipality. Blue state. Overwhelmingly Blue House Delegation. Two Blue Senators. Most of the legislature from the area is DSA, ffs.
Trump might make noise, but the tip of the spear is going to have to come from the establishment Democratic Party, at least until the election is over. If anything, Trump wants Zohran to win the general, so that he can pull the institutional Dems in next to him when he announces his plan to take over the city, like he’s done with LA.
There’s going to be a lot of rat fucking on BOTH sides. He isn’t any more popular with establishment Dems than he is with Republicans.
I think it’s great that people like David Hogg and Mamdani are scaring the Trad Dems into exposing their true nature.
Vote NYC, vote!
