Recent polls indicate that Andrew Cuomo maintains a strong lead in the New York City mayoral primary, bolstered by endorsements from major labor unions that previously called for his resignation as governor. Over 90% of New Yorkers cite affordability as a critical issue, with a significant call for more affordable housing options. Despite controversies surrounding his candidacy, including mixed public opinion, union support suggests a potential comeback for Cuomo against his opponents. Notably, key unions have shifted their stance, throwing their weight behind Cuomo, while tensions with current Mayor Eric Adams appear to escalate as some unions abandon him in favor of Cuomo.
