Andrew Cuomo, who lands in a distant second place.The survey of likely voters in the Big Apple which was conducted from Sept. 2 to 6 found that, including leaners, on the question of who people would support if the contest "were held today," a whopping 46% chose Mamdani, compared to just 24% for Cuomo, with other candidates faring even worse.MAMDANI WANTS TO CONVINCE NYC'S WEALTHY RESIDENTS PAYING MORE TAXES WOULD BETTER THEIR QUALITY OF LIFERepublican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa scored only 15%, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams earned just 9%."The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.6 percentage points among the likely electorate," the methodology section notes.BERNIE SANDERS RIPS DEM LEADERS FOR SNUBBING MAMDANI IN MAYORAL RACE: THIS IS OUR GUY!Mamdani is backed by notable left-wing lawmakers Sen.
