Political Landscape in New York
Prior to the 2025 election, the Mayor of New York was a Democrat, Mayor Eric Adams, and, at the time of writing, he is planning to run for re-election later this year.
The main threat to the re-election of Eric Adams is Andrew Cuomo, the Republican candidate who served as the Governor of New York between 2011 and 2021.
As is the way with politics, it’s not as simple as one candidate versus another. Eric Adams has lost a lot of popularity points with voters since he was indicted on federal corruption charges in September 2024.
Who is Likely To Win?
The latest mayoral polls (March 2025), as seen on politicalpulse.net, show that since February 10, the approval ratings for both Adams and Cuomo have held steady. Cuomo has received a 31-36% approval rating (latest stats show 31%), and Adams has held steady between 15-11% (11% being the most recent).
Of course, the low approval rating for Adams may not be the end of his role as Mayor. In fact, it has been suggested that the low rating is due to weak fundraising, so if he is able to secure a reliable fundraising budget between now and October, he may be re-elected.
It should also be considered that Cuomo has a reliable fundraising source, coming from President Trump. Could this have led to his approval rating soaring?
