NYC Mayor 2025: Another Poll Shows Adams Weak, Cuomo Strong but Divisive

"Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo would clobber Mayor Eric Adams even among black voters if the pair ran against each other in the Democratic primary for mayor, according to an independent poll released Wednesday," reported the New York Post. "The survey, conducted by Bold Decision and obtained by The Post, shows that Cuomo is the first choice of 46% of likely black voters compared to the 18% who said they would choose Adams, the second African-American to be elected mayor after David Dinkins a generation ago."

The New York Democratic primary will be June 24, 2025 and use ranked choice voting to allow for instant runoffs. Even with an early lead in all polling so far, another consistency has been that nearly half of New York City Democrats hold negative views of former Governor Cuomo - and that it would take as many as seven rounds of ranked choice voting for him to win the nomination.
