Voters don't vote based on numbers. Voters vote based on trust, and Cuomo has A LOT of issues with that, which is why Mamdani has been gaining on him. All Cuomo has is name recognition. Wait for the new polling to come. Mamdani was only 9 pts away in the final round. Cuomo got clobbered last night.

I stand corrected. TY I think she is a democratic socialist by philosophy but that will not fly in the US so most Dem socialist (like me as well) soft pedal the collectivist aspect. Do note that a lot of us don't want state run but are more fond of worker run co-ops. Helps keep democracy strong.
