NYC Mayor 2025: Cuomo Still Leads as DSA's Mamdani & Speaker Adams Rise

" A Marist College survey, conducted during the first week of May, showed former Governor Andrew Cuomo defeating second-place opponent Zohran Mamdani by 24 points in the fifth round of ranked-choice voting, when the ex-governor clears the 50 percent threshold to win. Marist released the findings Tuesday, six weeks before voters will select their Democratic nominee," reported Politico.

"City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams — who entered the race late, and has yet to amass enough money to air ads or qualify for public matching funds — placed third in the first round of a ranked-choice simulation.

Cuomo received 44 percent in that first round, to Mamdani’s 22 percent and Adams’ 11 percent."
