Fucking love this polling. The only shot the establishment has is either Adams or Cuomo dropping out and endorsing the other. Cuomo won’t quit because he’s a sociopathic narcissist. Adams can’t quit because if he can’t do Trump’s bidding in NYC, Trump will probably prosecute him for corruption (and he is very guilty of corruption). Throw Silwa into the mix and the moderates will have to choose between two corrupt megalomaniacs and a weirdo in a beret, while anyone remotely progressive will gravitate towards Mamdani.
Also to note for others: NYC only has ranked choice for mayor in primaries (or special elections), so there is no ranked choice in this general election

Aw… they did poor Curtis Silwa dirty.
Like, Mamdani all the way. But if I’ve got to pick between those last three, Silwa’s clearly the least awful choice.
I honestly don’t know too much about him except that he was a Gaurdian Angel founder and he took over the Reform Party.
