For New Yorkers tired of Governor Andrew Cuomo, Cynthia Nixon is a breath of fresh air. Progressives love her. But this polls tells otherwise…
She is slipping in the poll. 61% Cuomo. 26% Nixon.
Not only that....by 62- 24 Cuomo is defeating her among self described liberals. Even worse, she is trailing Cuomo by 57 with Black voters, 46 with hispanic voters. She is down nearly 60 points with black voters. WTH?! Is her campaign doing an aggresive outreach to this community?. How can people claim not to like Cuomo and refuse to vote for a progressive alternative??.
I DON'T GET THIS
Is it because she is from Hollywood and Trump's election has caused people to shy away from anyone from hollywood, that even decent people like Nixon are painted with the same broad brush??
Cuomo has been endorsed by Hillary Clinton, Tom Perez and other Democrats. Sanders called out Perez for making an endorsement in this race. Sanders says DNC should not be making an endorcement in the primary.
Our Revolution and Nina Turner endorsed Nixon. Other liberal organizations also endorsed Cynthia Nixon for NY Governor.
Other polls also have Cuomo ahead. Looks like us New yorkers are stuck with Cuomo.
