Lefty upstart Zohran Mamdani has leapfrogged over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the city’s ranked choice Democratic primary for mayor, according to a stunning new poll released Monday.

In its hypothetical initial round of voting, Cuomo’s lead shrinks to 3 percentage points, with 35% of likely Democratic voters supporting him compared to 32% for Mamdani and 13% for city Comptroller Brad Lander, the Emerson College Polling/Pix 11/The Hill survey found.

City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams follows with 8%, Scott Stringer 3% and 5% split between candidates Zellnor Myrie, Whitney Tilson, Jessica Ramos and Michael Blake, with another 4% undecided.

If you rank Cuomo, your vote might eventually be transferred to him. Which is why it's "Don't Rank Evil Andrew For Mayor".

Right, that's why it's important if at all possible to rank five names if you can so even if your vote gets transferred five times it will still count however participating is the most important part so even if you don't have five names please vote and rank Zohran #1.

That makes sense.
