New York City socialist Zohran Mamdani continues to hold a commanding lead — 21 points — in the mayoral race, fueled partly by a growing black base, according to a new poll released Tuesday.
The lefty Dem captured the support of 45% of the respondents, compared to 24% who said they back ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 17% in the camp of Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and 9% going for incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, with 5% undecided, said the Marist University Institute for Public Opinion survey.
While Cuomo carried most black precincts in the Democratic primary in June, nearly half, or 47%, of likely black voters said they would back Mamdani in the general election, compared to 26% for Cuomo, 11% for Adams and 5% for Sliwa, the poll says.
If Adams were to drop out of the contest, Mamdani’s lead among all of the poll’s likely voters shrinks to 16 points.
He would receive 46% of likely voters’ support compared with 30% for Cuomo and 18% for Sliwa.
In a hypothetical two-way contest between Mamdani and Cuomo, Mamdani’s lead shrinks to a narrower 10 points, with 49% of likely voters supporting him and 39% backing the ex-gov, thanks to Sliwa voters switching to him.
The remaining 12% would vote for another candidate or are undecided...
Mamdani is overpowering his opponents among younger voters and liberal voters.
Among voters under age 45, 62% back Mamdani — a nearly 50 point gap over Cuomo, who has just 14% support in the new poll
It’s a split with voters over the age of 45, with 33% backing Mamdani, 30% supporting Cuomo and 21% preferring Sliwa and 8% Adams...
As for all non-white voters, Mamdani gets 51% support to just 22% for Cuomo, 12% for Sliwa and 8% for Adams in the poll.

Well, it’s not as if these people would not be getting the person they actually deserve as mayor.
Mamdami, Adams, Cuomo, it doesnt matter. All Rats are pretty much alike in how they govern.
Commies offer free stuff to get power. Since Marx rolled out that horror, over a hundred million people have starved to death under that system.
People who support communism are usually gullible, greedy and stupid.
The guy’s a huckster and demagogue.
It will be a learning opportunity for NYC.
But they will fail to learn.
“This time is different “.
Deny NYC federal funds. No more “good money after bad” as Trump says.
Before anyone loses their bleep, read down to the LAST paragraph of the very long article.
Check out the info for the poll methodology.
It’s a cooked poll.
NYC has RCV for mayorals for a reason.
They’ll blame Trump, like they blamed Ford. Headlines will be “Trump to city Drop Dead!”
The NYC voters hate Trump so much they’ll elect anyone. They are cutting off their noses in order to spite their faces. Stupid people....
If Gothamites are ineducable, then why does Deep State have to steal their elections.
Read the last paragraph of the article.
It’s a cooked poll.
See my reply #8.
There’s an old movie called Failsafe which is what needs to happen to NYC. Who gives a damn about that hell hole anymore.
They should have learned from DeSantis. And from Dinkins before him. And from Beame & Lindsay before that.
No, it doesn't. It only has it for primaries. Not for the general.
For months now, every time someone posts about the election, someone will post that NYC has RCV for the upcoming election.
And every time they are corrected.
But sure enough, next time someone posts an article on the NYC mayoral election, someone will again erroneously post that NYC has RCV.
I am aware of that.

Why is nobody asking why the NYP ran with a cooked poll?
Why does Deep State have to steal Gotham’s elections...
Pop some popcorn and watch Mamdami destroy New York.
It’s your funeral, New York.
Exactly. We said the same thing about Chicago and Mayor Beetlejuice. They replaced her with someone even worse.
