Far more voters have a negative view of Andrew Cuomo than any other candidate in the Democratic primary of the New York City mayor's race. He’s on track to win anyway.

First Eric Adams, then George Santos, now Andrew Cuomo? NY, you okay, bruh?
👎🤬🤬
Old politicians never die, but we do wish they would fade away.
NYC is a joke politically. You really gonna trust the people who elected Rudy Giuliani?
He must not win. 86Cuomo
Don't elect a corrupt politician. That would not be good.
We need the Cuomos of the world to stand up to what's coming to us from the Nefarious Criminal WH
No, we don't.
This should be seen as an embarrassment.
Maybe it’s because the media refuses to acknowledge the other candidates in the race. 🤷♀️
Funny how that works…
Why is there even a US politics magazine? I can save yall a subscription: every part of US government is for sale and you can’t afford it.
Cuomo nomo.
Can’t NY get a mayor that isn’t this guy???
🤢
How many NYers could name 2 other people currently running for NYC mayor? Probably why he’s doing so well in polls.
He has the statue to fight Drumpf 👀
I’ve always thought of NYC as a smart place… but… ARE they all morons? No, seriously. Because…
For those that don't know, NYC has ranked choice voting, projects.thecity.nyc/meet-your-ma...
I mean....Ted Cruz still won even though everyone hates him...so theres that
RANKED CHOICE VOTING NOW
NYC has ranked choice voting
Then it shouldn't be a problem, vote for literally anyone but him in any order
Shitlibs keep electing the shittiest candidate possible.
Stop reelecting the same old toxic politicians! Let’s try and move this country forward and away from Trump and those who are only in it for themselves.
Why do we let brand recognition overcome brand reality in politics? He’s a corrupt nepo-baby and abuser. JFC, NY.
Bit of this.
What is wrong with people? Dems need to do better.
Democrats deserve to lose NYC if Cuomo is the best option they give voters. The largest city in the country and the Dems can't find ANYONE else?! FFS
There are multiple good options running. IDK why people keep saying it this way.
Maybe replace "best" with "most popular" or "most vote-getting". The whole point is that Cuomo is shit, but if there is anyone better than him, they need to get the votes to beat him.
I would agree that if the dem primary sends Cuomo to the general, they deserve to lose. But almost certainly they wouldn't lose in that scenario. What NYers don't get is that there is almost zero risk sending a more radical nominee to the general, because there is no Republican opposition.
I wish we would stop playing the national "lean moderate to get the swing votes" game in a city with like 200 republican voters.
Also, Democrats simply can't lose NYC because there is no opposition party here. It isn't really electorally possible at the moment. Conservatives with any brain in NYC run as democrats. Eric Adams being a prime example.
Cuomo is far from the best option.
Maybe the political parties need to stop giving the people shit as candidates. Oh wait, that’s right, they’re all bought by corporations & oligarchs.
Maybe you could run a story with a photo and headline touting candidates who DO have net favorables? You know... As a treat?
It's dogma, not reason, influencing the choices of democracy. Electing such a man is like the electing of the current president. Not an act of reason but reaction. And reaction is influenced by bias and prejudice. Therefore, reactive. .
🙄
Whats the other choice a scumbag boot licker in a red hat, no thanks. Ill vote Cuomo over any republicunt or fake dem aka republicunt in dem camo like Manchin, Sinema, Fetterman & any other dem dbag that votes in line with diaper donny.
you can take a poll to learn more about the candidates and which one best matches your concerns projects.thecity.nyc/meet-your-ma...
I guess New York is making peace with a man being in power who is inappropriate with women. Tragic.
No coumo
NY mayor's race has a track record to keep. So, this is spot-on.
He’s proven that he cannot be trusted.
it’s called name recognition & @politico.com knowingly helps this vicious creep w/PR pieces like this, presenting Cuomo as inevitable bc of high name recognition New Yorkers who know Don’t rank Cuomo “In 2021, Yang was front-runner in multiple polls until final stretch” gothamist.com/news/liz
He isn’t much better than what you have.
There's other candidates: Zellnor, Zohran, Lander. Policies from them include making the buses free, more cycle & bus infrastructure, a rent freeze, city owned grocery stores in neighborhoods that are food deserts, construction of 1 million homes & free universal after school programs.

NYC is so unbelievably corrupt.
NYC needs to stop electing these awful men.
Name popularity counts more than anything
Name recognition. People ignore politics, for the most part. They see a name that they know. Suddenly, they feel like "informed" voters and ... presto! Victory.
Say what you want about him, but during the height of COVID he gave daily pep talks & information to help us get through it. He also fought to get equipment, temporary medical facilities & aid to essential care givers. He was a great comfort to me & my family. Albeit in the end he did disappoint.
Yeah then he hid that people died and was accused of sexual misconduct. He needs to not be in office!
You mean how he lied daily to coverup what was actually happening? Yeah fucking hero.
He was literally, famously lying about the shit that you loved him for lol
Cuomo, you need to move on. We need younger blood to represent this country. No,more greedy old white privilege, man. Let the white women and the younger generations of any race have a chance at running this country.They can't do any worse than the current Republican party.
Who else is running? Exactly
Shocking Why voting for him?
Seems Democrats learned from the Trump paradox. You don't have to like him, just agree with his policies and that he's a candidate with the strength and cunning to win.
Just more evidence the Democratic party is a joke.
Come on, people. Let's not make the same mistakes.
NY should elect the pizza rat. He would steal, like the others, but only one pizza slice a day.
Because he's running against a guy who took massive bribes and then got out of the repercussions by licking the Fetid Moppet's boots (to use a family-friendly location for said licking). It's not rocket science.
I don’t know if you know this, but Adam’s and Cuomo are not the only two candidates in this race.
If he wins the Democratic brand will be even more damaged than it already is.
What the fuck is wrong with Americans? Are Americans too stupid to learn from past mistakes or from history? Keep electing these corrupt politicians and corrupt politics is all you’ll ever have. What’s wrong with America? It’s the American people!
Just go away !!
Old, white, male…same old story. When asked why,? They shrug
This the age for sexual harassers and ‘pussycat’ grabbers to win elections! No one can sink lower than the Duck in Power!!
You would think that New York would come up with a better candidate. It's looking like New York just produces POS Americans. First, it was Cuomo and then Adams and now Cuomo again....let's not forget that HUGE POS Trump came out of NY too
The better candidates are: Zohran Mamdani Brad Lander Adrianne Adams Jessica Ramos Zellnor Myrie.
#NYCStupid
I'd rather have him back into office then crooked Eric Adam's!!
The issue is that there are 8 other candidates on the Democratic ticket alone. You can rank 5 candidates & still leave off Eric Adams & Cuomo. There's Zohran, Lander, Zellnor, Ramos & Adrienne Adams
How is people vote for despicable politicians?
Now do Trump…
Everyone I know is voting for Zohran
Add me to the list.
Would some variation of ranked choice voting improve outcomes in situations like this?
ny has ranked choice voting
Oh, neat. TY. I should have read up on that before posting, but I'll go do it now.
Really NYC??? Really? JFC
Because people are too lazy or overwhelmed to do their own research about the other candidates. I have family in the city and they said they're "probably gonna vote for Cuomo; who else is really viable?" (Yes, I set them straight).
Thank you, I had to set my sister straight.
Elect Democrat Zohran K. Mamdani zohranfornyc.com Mayor of New York City. He's the right choice, the People's Choice for a better City we call all live in!
Most people go from being a great mayor then aspire to be governor- this may be the first disgraced governor who is trying to get the job of mayor…
Can’t this guy find another job beside career politician? Anything?
No such thing as bad press. Trump’s been living on this truism for decades.
Americans vote for the name they recognize, sadly.
No let’s not vote this guy in.
Yes, Politico would support a sex pest over a socialist. Obviously.
Not a paradox at all. I’d argue Trump was and is deeply unpopular but when you combine press coverage and the widely held belief that progressives are dangerous, these guys always win. This is America. Status quo or fascism beats free healthcare everytime
Rank 5. Don't rank Cuomo. Here are the good ones: Zohran Mamdani Brad Lander Adrianne Adams Jessica Ramos Zellnor Myrie
Come on NYC! There are millions of you and you can find an acceptable democrat candidate. What’s going on?
Zohran Mamdani has 20000 volunteers and by far the most individual donors.
