Mayor Eric Adams on Monday defiantly brushed off a new poll showing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has yet to jump into the race, with a whopping 26% lead in the Democratic mayoral primary.
Hizzoner, during his weekly news conference, compared Cuomo’s apparent early lead to the one held by his 2021 rival Andrew Yang — who ultimately came in fourth place nearly four years ago. Cuomo’s lead came from a Monday poll conducted in December by the firm Progressives for Democracy in America, which had him at 32% support and Adams at just 6%.
