I fixed the headline for Politico.
A Quinnipiac University survey the first major poll conducted since Adams suspended his campaign on Sept. 28 found the ex-governor receiving a 10-point boost even as Mamdani maintains a commanding double-digit lead in the contest to lead the nations largest city. Adams wasnt included in the poll, but remains on the November ballot. . .
Mamdani, a state assemblymember, received 46 percent of the vote to Cuomos 33 percent. Republican Curtis Sliwa received 15 percent, the poll found.
The results for Mamdani and Sliwa are essentially unchanged from a Quinnipiac poll released on Sept. 10. Cuomo, though, drew 23 percent in that survey, while Adams received 12 percent.

This has nothing to do with disarray. There is only one Democrat nominee in the mayor's race: Mamdani.

(16,915 posts)They constantly publish stories like "Ooooh, race tightening", or "OMG, that Dem candidate said something inappropriate once, how will that impact them as they take on Donnie Dipshit?", or "Donnie Dipshit's Economy is Tanking. How is this Bad for the Dems?"
It's a thinly veiled attempt to depress Dem turnout, or make Retrumplican wins seem inevitable.

The funny part is that if Sliwa drops out, his 15% won't go to Cuomo. The doo-da-doo NYC Republicans that would vote for Sliwa would just sit on their hands and stew, like the petulant losers they are.

(92,808 posts)But I think the Republican is already wealthy so bribing him to drop out won't work.
I think Adams dropped out after some bribe.

Cuomo would be adequate as Mayor (he certainly has administrative experience), but Mamdami has the juice.

(2,245 posts)I just dont see in the current political environment that is clearly calling for change that an incumbent candidate with the record of Cuomo will win. I just dont see it. Headlines may make it seem like hes gaining to bring in clicks and views but I doubt its even close come Election Day.
