Disgraced ‘Love Gov’ Andrew Cuomo Dominates NYC Mayoral Field: POLL

Democratic Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is polling well above the current contenders for New York City mayor, including incumbent Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Cuomo, nicknamed the “Love Gov,” was accused of sexually harassing 13 women between 2013 and 2021, including Lindsey Boylan, who he allegedly asked to play strip poker. Nevertheless, he is currently dominating the Democratic New York City mayoral primary field in the polls, with 32% of likely Democratic voters choosing him when asked to choose a favorite candidate, according to Politico.

Behind Cuomo is former city Comptroller Scott Stringer at 10%, current Comptroller Brad Lander at 8%, Democratic state Sen. Jessica Ramos at 7% and Adams along with Democratic state Assemblymen Zohran Mamdani at 6%, the outlet reported. Another 18% said they were unsure and 3% selected other.

Despite Cuomo’s apparent lead, he had just a 48%-44% positive response — the second highest negative rating of all poll options besides Adams, according to Politico. Adams was indicted by federal prosecutors in September after allegedly receiving campaign donations and free air travel from Turkish officials.
