Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo leads a hypothetical Democratic mayoral field with 32% support, despite high unfavorable ratings, according to a poll commissioned by Progressives for Democracy in America.

The ranked-choice poll showed Cuomo reaching 50% by the fifth round, with Scott Stringer (16%) and Brad Lander (14%) trailing.
