Even with the new poll being heavily skewed when surveying voters to try to help boost Eric Adams’ numbers and tarnish others, the mayor failed to garner much support, much to the chagrin of

Democratic mayoral primary winner and state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is barely leading the pack of candidates to potentially govern New York City in a new poll released Tuesday. The survey shows he is in a statistical tie with former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa after previously landing positive polls on the heels of his primary win.

But the results of the Honan Strategy poll raise questions about this plan to back for Mr. Adams. The poll shows Messrs. Cuomo and Mamdani tying at 39 percent each in a five-way race. Mr. Adams earns 13 percent and Mr. Sliwa gets 7 percent in this scenario. An independent candidate, attorney Jim Walden, earns zero percent, with 2 percent undecided.
