In the weeks since the primary, several prominent donors who had been supportive of Cuomo pledged their support to Adams in the general election, including billionaire hedge-fund managers Dan Loeb and Bill Ackman, both of whom have become so entwined with the Adams operation that they have helped vet campaign hires.

The poll results emerge as Cuomo relaunched his campaign as an independent following his primary defeat by Mamdani.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he will drop out of the mayor’s race if he is not the frontrunner to win against state Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani in the November election. Cuomo has suggested that independent candidates should coalesce behind a frontrunner in order to beat Mamdani.

But one reply has more engagement than all of them, like double Cuomo's original post, and that's from Mamdani himself.

In the poll by Slingshot Strategies, first reported by the New York Post, Mamdani has 36 percent of the vote compared to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo 's 27 percent and current New York City Mayor Eric Adams' 14 percent. Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa landed 16 percent of the vote and independent candidate Jim Walden received 2 percent.
