NextImg:Andrew Cuomo would ‘trounce’ Eric Adams in Dem primary for mayor, polls show

Fallen ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo is getting much more support than Mayor Eric Adams in a hypothetical head-to-head Democratic primary race for City Hall in 2025, a stunning new poll released Tuesday claims.

Of those Democrats with an opinion, 44% favored Cuomo to 24% for Adams with one-third undecided, according to the survey conducted by American Pulse & Research Polling.

Cuomo led Adams among all racial groups and especially among women.

“Our American Pulse survey revealed what I found to be a big surprise: if Andrew Cuomo ran as a Democrat for mayor, he would decisively trounce Mayor Adams in a primary,” said Dustin Olson of American Pulse Research & Polling.

“While surprising, it does make sense, as New Yorkers also gave Mayor Adams the distinction of being the most unfavorably viewed politician among all those we tested in the city.”

A recent Marist poll also found Adams’ popularity had nose-dived amid the migrant crisis, an FBI fundraising probe and proposed budget cuts.

The poll — which was paid for by a group headed by Adams’ 2021 GOP opponent, Curtis Sliwa — also found that 57% of all voters had a favorable impression of lefty democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the highest of elected officials mentioned in the poll, while Adams had the worst unfavorable rating of 58%.

But the exiled ex-governor — who resigned from office in 2021 amid accusations of sexual misconduct — would lose were he to challenge Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in a Democratic primary the next year, the survey said.

In that match-up, 49% of Democrats preferred Gillibrand  — who is up for re-election next year — to 35% for Cuomo in a Senate primary match-up.

Gillibrand clobbers Cuomo by more than 40 percentage points among white Democrats, while the former thrice-elected governor and former state attorney general led among to a lesser extend among black and Hispanic voters.  

Cuomo has upped his public profile this year as he attempts to claw his way back to relevancy — hosting a podcast, speaking at churches and political clubs.

On Sunday, he was spotted having lunch at Junior’s restaurant with former Brooklyn Democratic leader Frank Seddio, a source who forwarded a photo of the two said. 

Meanwhile the poll found 40% of voters oppose “illegal immigration and [believe] New Yorker tax dollars should be spent on New Yorkers, not for housing undocumented migrants.” It also found that 35% support a candidate who supports New York as a sanctuary city.

The survey conducted 417 interviews via live and automated phone calls and text/ web online responses from Nov. 30- to Dec.1,  and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.

A group called Save the Senate, chaired by Sliwa and aimed at bolstering the GOP in the US Senate, helped finance the poll.
