Progressive assemblyman may be leading the former governor in race for New York City mayor, survey finds
Never trust the polls. If you are in NYC and haven't voted yet, do not trust the polls, you need to go out and vote tomorrow.
Remember to fully fill out your ballot with five names too! The only reason Adams won last time was because some people didn't fully fill out their ballots.
Totally. Chances are fair that this is disinformation to lull potential voters into staying home thinking it’s in the bag. It ain’t over! Vote!
Polls are legitimate data on the sentiments of voters. However, they are prone to various error, and when combined with the tendency of partisans to trumpet polls that favor their narrative and dismiss or ignore those that don’t, this can build a misleading view of what’s happening.
This is just one poll, so while it is interesting and suggests a tightening race, it’s probably an outlier. So I think my prior is still that Cuomo is heavily favored, but we won’t know for sure until the results are counted.
So trust the polls but understand that they are not prophecies, only one clue among many as to what is really going to happen.
Agreed, didn't mean to question the legitimacy or integrity on whomever put together this poll, it's just that the average person does not understand the polls and puts too much weight into their relevancy. For us voters, polls have very little value (other than keeping the election top of mind). For the campaigns and the candidates, the polls can sway how they get their messaging out, but when the media reports on how well a candidate is doing in the polls, it's really just to fill time and get clicks. At best, it may encourage people whose candidate is not doing well to get the word out, but at worst, it can result in people sitting out the election because they think their candidate is a shoe in.
WHAT? HOW can someone who LISTENS to New Yorkers be AHEAD of a Sexual Convict who ONLY Listens to RICH People? We need to Spend BILLIONS Studying this!
-The DNC!
We need to Spend BILLIONS Preventing this!
I'm concerned that now that it looks like they have a chance, it'll be lots of money on character assassination and "now's not the time" messaging. Including from AIPAC.
Well they're going to have to hurry it up if they want to prevent this one, voting is tomorrow I believe.
Note that it's extremely likely that ranked choice will be the deciding factor here as Cuomo may "win" first choice but lose the ranked majority. Expect challenges in implementing ranked choice from establishment dems in the immediate future.
"Now's not the time" is how they got Bernie.
Remember, these articles are to placate the lazy, assume you still have to vote for him to win.
Yes please.
You Don't Mess with the Zohran
