| 0:55.4 | So we got a bunch of political topics to dig into, and our friend Dave Weigel from Semaphore. Joins us now. We've got some new Zoron polling, and you were just at two very interesting conferences. So great to see you, Dave. Yes, good to be out of the conferences. I'm sure. I'm sure. Let's go ahead and put this polling, New York Times polling, on Zoran up on the screen, |
| 1:00.7 | because this is pretty interesting. So this is the four-way race, which looks, you can tell me if this is wrong, but it looks like this is going to be the field. Zoron with a commanding lead, |
| 1:04.5 | 46 percent, Cuomo at 24, Curtis Sliwa, beating Eric Adams, 15, and then 9% for Adams. The Trump administration reportedly was offering Adams the Saudi ambassadorship.

| 1:57.6 | and spending. And his largest lead, actually, is on the Israeli-Palestinian |
| 2:03.3 | conflict, worth 43% say they think he would do the best job on that issue. Of course, not that |
| 2:10.6 | central to the New York City mayor's race. But in any case, his opponents tried to make it |
| 2:14.9 | central to it. Cuomo is second at 16 percent, or actually |
