The scandal-scarred independents running for New York City mayor stand little chance against frontrunner Zohran Mamdani — even if the rivals team up against the socialist candidate, a shocking new poll found.
Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and Democratic nominee, is projected to handily win the November general election with 50% of likely voters in the latest survey, released Tuesday by Zenith Research/Public Progress Solutions.
Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has decided to continue his comeback tour after his embarrassing June primary loss to 33-year-old Mamdani, came in a distant second at 22%, while the GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa pulled 13%.

"likely voters" is the key phrase here that gives the Ugandan Communist the edge. The vast majority of New York City voters do not vote at all because they look at the conditions surrounding them and figure, what's the use? Mamdani will win by default because the insane activists vote for all of the lunatic stuff that leftists want, like no law and authority and the right to free stuff without working or earning anything. We can all see it coming except for the people who will have their lives completely destroyed if they continue to live there.

Just a thought, maybe in the long run, a couple of years of Zohran turning the city upside down may result in the populace opening their eyes and say never again.

My thoughts exactly. This election might be like the theft of the 2020 general election which proving to be a blessing after four years of a dystopian nightmare.

Isn't the city of Los Angeles still under federal control? ICE is there. The national guard is still there. I haven't heard anything about the Pendleton Marines leaving. President Trump could do the same with NYC, if needed.

The NY Post has a wide readership in NY, they need to get the word out…….the word is Serf. That what New Yorkers will become. The very rich (Mandami and cohorts) and the working poor (everyone else). If he’s elected I predict a peasants revolt.

I miss the good old days when even the suggestion that someone was a communist was the kiss of death. McCarthy was right all along.

The NYC voters will get exactly what they deserve if they elect this communist. If it weren't so sad to see a great city in what pilots call the "graveyard spiral". it would be fun to watch since I have no plans to ever visit there again.

#2, you’d think they would have opened their eyes and said, “never again” on 9/11/2001. Seven years later they helped put a Muslim in the White House and now it looks like they will put a Muslim in the Mayor’s mansion. You really can’t fix stupid.
Given everything that’s happening, I truly believe that the left has become suicidal. They just don’t realize it. Yet.

This was the plan all along, even before September 11th. Remember when the muzzies wanted a mosque built right near Ground Zero?

Two thoughts. The Democrats have desperately been looking for an heir to Obama. Could it be Mamdani? There are parallels between Obama and Mamdani. The other thought is if this is the best that Democracy has to give, we probably need an honest competent dictatorship, a dictatorship that stamps out corruption rather than embracing it, because Democracy isn't working.

Promises of “free stuff” are a powerful political incentive among a stupid electorate. Even though such communism and socialism have been found to not work in many foreign countries.

Trump got about 750,000 votes last year in NYC. Adams got about 760,000(67%) in 2021. In a low turnout election, it's all about voter turnout. I don't live there, and I don't know much about their local politics, but it appears to me that the Trump voters have the potential to save their city. They just have to show up and vote.

That is ridiculous. Have New Yorkers who claim to be the brightest people in the country elect this rich guy, as evidenced by what s going on in Uganda with his wedding, who claims to be a "Man of the people"? He is also a cheat. He lives in a rent controlled apartment where people of limited means should be living. This is a great point that Adams should look into and evict him while he is still Mayor. And whoever is running on the Republican ticket should shout the info from the roof tops.

This doesn't surprise me. The NY Dems may have lost a few percentage points in 2024 but it is still overwhelming 'blue'. Sliwa doesn't have the charisma or policy chops that Giuliani needed for a Republican to win back in the '90s. And many right-leaning Italians have long since fled the city.

Same old story.
The factions turn out to vote, while everyone else complains and stays home.
The Muslims are taking over, one city at a time.

The Deep State wants Mamdani bad. They are not above polls and articles like this to frame the narrative. I don’t believe a word of it.

There are MILLIONS of voters registered in NYC. Less than 400,000 voted for the commie. He is not hard to beat if these New Yorkers would just get off their butts and vote against him. Do they not have any idea what they are in store for (I admit that they actually deserve the mess)? Is there something in the water that makes them so pathetically stupid? NY as a state is a total clown show.

#10, we know for a fact that Mamdani was not born in the US. The jury is still out on 0bama, though I hope the truth comes out in my lifetime.

This poll was conducted by "Zenith/Public Progress Solutions" reportedly based in Minnesota. They don't work for free and there is no information on who reached out to Minnesota to commission this poll.

If New Yorkers haven't revolted already when the city allows multiple murders because one man with a rifle can just walk in and kill people randomly because they are not allowed to carry firearms, in direct violation of the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution, they will be happy to become the slaves of Mamdani. Officials are bragging that the police arrived within six minutes. Very reassuring, isn't it? A capable shooter with an AR-15 can probably fire 90 rounds in six minutes. I won't waste any more time reading about that slimy, lying foreign import.

It no longer is appropriate to just shrug and say "the voters of New York deserve everything they get" because the "voters" are no longer ordinary American citizens. Just like in California, they've now imported enough replacements from 3rd world Communist, socialist, and Islamic countries to take over without firing a shot or flying airplanes into buildings. And we need to fix this fast!
Deport, defund, and true the vote!

In some ways, an election is a lot like an IQ test, and we already know what the Bell curve looks like.
It's about time to break out the popcorn and watch that old Kurt Russell "fantasy" flick.
Goodbye, New York.

If we could get rid of the west coast and the northeast, we could have a better country.
