Cuomo Leads NYC Mayoral Race Polls Amid Speculation

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is considering a run for New York City's mayoral race in 2025, potentially challenging incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. Recent polls suggest Cuomo is a frontrunner, with 32% of likely voters supporting him, compared to Adams' 6% and other contenders. Cuomo’s decision is driven by public perception of crisis in the city and his track record, although he has yet to officially declare his candidacy. Speculation about his political comeback has intensified as Cuomo updated his voter registration to a New York City address and engaged with political leaders. Despite his resignation in 2021 following sexual harassment allegations, Cuomo appears poised for a return to politics, leveraging his experience and reputation among voters dissatisfied with current leadership. His potential candidacy comes amid broader challenges for Democrats in New York, as they seek to regain support from key voter demographics.
