Cuomo conceded the race, even before the votes were counted: https://apnews.com/article/andrew-cuomo-zohran-mamdani-new-york-mayor-0d39764944e7e55a7e26a988d4136a86

Zohran Mamdani: 43.5%

Andrew M. Cuomo: 36.3%

Brad Lander: 11.4%

Thing is, it's sometimes easier to solve the final puzzle or some of the outer clues, and then use that to determine the inner most blank for context.

Amazing!

People who are in line before the polls close will be allowed to vote.

way to go!

I think he already holds this title since 2021.

Not sure how I implied that, but it was not my intention. To reiterate, you can rank anywhere between 0-5 candidates. Considering that there are 11 candidates on the ballot, plus write in, you could rank 5 candidates easily without ranking Cuomo. There's no need to vote for him at all.

You can rank up to 5 for a valid ballot, so you can pick anywhere between 0-5 candidates. What the person who you originally commented to was saying was that in the 2021 election, many people voted as if this is first pass the post, and only ranked a single candidate with no backups. When that candidate didn't get a majority, there were no choices for 2-5, and that's how Adams got the votes.

The NYC mayoral race is Ranked Choice Voting.

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.
