NYC mayoral race poll: Cuomo leads big in race he hasn't officially entered; Adams more disliked than Trump

Yet another poll of the 2025 NYC mayoral race shows former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — who has yet to enter the contest — handily beating all declared candidates for the Democratic nomination, including incumbent Mayor Eric Adams.

Not only is Adams polling in single digits on the first ballot, but the Honan Strategy Group poll released Monday also found Hizzoner more unpopular with those surveyed than President Donald Trump.

Cuomo, the Queens native who resigned as governor in 2021 amid a sexual harassment scandal over accusations which he had always denied, has been rumored for some time to be considering a campaign for mayor but has not yet officially declared.

Nevertheless, the Honan Strategy Group poll of 769 likely New York City Democratic primary voters, taken Jan. 23-26, showed Cuomo with a 25-point lead over all other Democrats currently seeking the office.
