Cuomo Holds Big Lead Over Nixon

April 13, 2018 at 8:19 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

A new Marist poll in New York finds Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) leading challenger Cynthia Nixon (D) in a Democratic primary, 68% to 21%, with 11% still undecided.

Four years ago, when Zephyr Teachout (D) challenged Cuomo, he received 62% of the vote in the primary to 34% for Teachout.

Let the GOP have dalliances with reality tv stars and actors, I prefer candidates who actually know something about the function of government.
