Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani holds a 10 point lead over Andrew Cuomo in New York City’s general election for mayor, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams trails in fourth place behind Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, according to a new poll.
Mamdani gets support from 35 percent of registered voters, followed by Cuomo with 25, Sliwa with 14, Adams at 11 and attorney Jim Walden at 1 percent. Thirteen percent of respondents said they weren’t sure, while 1 percent picked another candidate.
It looks bleak. I try to remember that general despair and lack of faith in elections is exactly the aim of many propagandists, and that apathy only serves the aims of those who would destroy us.
It’s hard sometimes because of the difficult past the US has had. Anyone trying to undermine America often need not even lie, but they do need to convince you that it’s hopeless, and that change is impossible. I see no reason to oblige them.
