NYC Mayoral race: From Zohran Mamdani to Eric Adams - What the latest poll reveals?
New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani holds a strong lead in the race, according to a recent Siena poll of registered voters. Mamdani is leading the poll at 44 per cent, while former Governor Andrew Cuomo running as an independent, trails at 25 per cent. Republican Curtis Sliwa stands at 12 per cent and current Mayor Eric Adams is at 7 per cent. Siena pollster Steven Greenberg in a press release on Tuesday said that 53 per cent of City Democrats support Mamdani compared to 32 per cent for Cuomo, with the other candidates receiving single-digit support. Among City Republicans, over two-thirds back Sliwa. Independent voters in the city are divided, with 30 per cent supporting Mamdani and 20 per cent supporting Adams. "City voters under 35 are overwhelmingly supporting Mamdani, as are a plurality of voters 35-54, however, voters 55 and older back Cuomo over Mamdani, 38-32 per cent," Greenberg added. Mamdani, appearing in the Siena poll for the first time, has a 46 per cent favorability rating among New York City voters but a lower 28 per cent favorability statewide, as reported by Fox News. Cuomo, who resigned as governor and lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani is facing serious favorability issues. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stylish New Mobility Scooters Available for Seniors (Prices May Surprise You) Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Search Now Undo "Cuomo has an underwater favorability rating with City voters, 37-54 per cent, and an even worse 29-61 per cent favorability rating with statewide voters, the worst ever favorability rating for Cuomo in a Siena poll. In fact, among Democrats statewide, Cuomo's favorability rating is 36-56 per cent, down from 51-39 per cent in March," he said. Mayor Eric Adams, now running as an independent, also struggles with favorability. Last year, the department of justice charged him with bribery, conspiracy and campaign finance crimes, but the case was dropped later. Adams is showing himself as a strong supporter of law enforcement, especially after the office shooting at 345 Park Avenue last month. However, his ratings remained underwater in the city (30 per cent favorable, 58 per cent unfavorable) and statewide (22 per cent favorable, 51 per cent unfavorable). Republican Curtis Sliwa has a 26 per cent favorable rating statewide and 30 per cent favorable in the city. The recent poll is drawing a lot of attention because Mamdani's win was a surprise against Cuomo. As the Democratic nominee, Mamdani supports several far-left ideas. He is currently touring the city campaigning against President Donald Trump . "There is no borough that will be free from Trump's cruelty," Mamdani said. "We will feel the pain of this legislation, whether we are in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens or Staten Island, and we will shine a light this week and every week on the costs of this vision that is coming out of Washington, DC" Cuomo, Adams and Sliwa have criticized Mamdani on issues such as policing and rent control. Cuomo even proposed "Zohran's Law" after it was revealed that Mamdani lives in a rent-stabilized apartment. The mayoral election will take place on November 4 this year.

Russia-US peace talks: Zelenskyy has been sidelined from the upcoming meeting
Ukrainian President has been excluded from the upcoming peace talks between US President and Russian President Tired of too many ads? go ad free now on Friday, as the meeting was arranged solely at Putin's request. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday that the purpose of this meeting is for President Trump to better understand how to bring an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine, as reported by Fox News. "The president is agreeing to this meeting, at the request of President Putin," Leavitt said. "And the goal of this meeting for the president is to walk away with a better understanding of how we can end this war." "I think the president of the United States getting in the room with the president of Russia ,sitting face-to-face rather than speaking over the telephone will give this president the best indication of how to end this war and where this is headed," she added. However, Zelenskyy has firmly stated that any peace agreements made without Ukraine's involvement will be ineffective. In a statement on Saturday, he said, '"Any decisions made against us, any decisions made without Ukraine — they are simultaneously decisions against peace. These are dead decisions; they will never work. And what we all need is a real, living peace, one that people will respect." European allies have also expressed their support for Ukraine. A group of European leaders issued a statement on Saturday affirming that 'the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.' On Monday, President Trump said he expected to quickly determine whether Putin was serious about negotiating a deal. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He also acknowledged that resolving the conflict might involve some 'land swapping' between Russia and Ukraine. Trump said he plans to communicate with Zelenskyy and European leaders after the meeting with Putin. He stated, "If it's a fair deal, I will reveal it to the leaders and the Nato leaders and also to President Zelenskyy. I may say, 'lots of luck, keep fighting,' or I may say we can make a deal.' When asked if the meeting would lead to a peace agreement or simply help gauge if a deal is possible, Leavitt said both outcomes are possible. She explained, 'The president has always said he wants a peace deal. He wants to see this war come to an end. But this bilateral meeting is a bilateral meeting between one party in this two party war.' She added that both countries need to agree for a deal to happen. Trump is accepting the bilateral meeting with Putin on Friday and will share his thoughts on the meeting after it concludes. Confirming the meeting between both leaders, White House Press Secretary added that President Trump is looking forward to host Russian president. "There were many sites discussed, but of course, Alaska is a state within the United States of America," Leavitt said. "So the president is very honored and looks forward to hosting President Putin on American soil."

Meme revived: Van in UK town displays altered image of JD Vance
(Source: Reuters/X) Residents of the Oxfordshire town of Charlbury were met with an unusual sight this week when a van bearing an altered image of US vice president JD Vance drove through its streets. The picture showed Vance bald in a style widely used in internet memes and was displayed prominently on the vehicle. The stunt was organised by the British political campaign group 'Everyone Hates Elon' and took place near where Vance was reportedly holidaying with his family, reports news agency Reuters. The meme has been circulating online for months, gaining extra attention after Vance's remarks during a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. While the image is generally treated as humorous online, it has been linked to a recent controversy involving a Norwegian tourist. In June, 21-year-old Mads Mikkelsen claimed he was denied entry to the United States at Newark Liberty International Airport after immigration officers discovered the bald Vance meme on his phone. He said he was detained, questioned about drug trafficking and extremism, and pressured to unlock his phone under threat of fines or imprisonment. US customs and border protection later issued a statement denying that the meme played any role in Mikkelsen's refusal of entry. They said the real reason was his admitted past drug use, dismissing suggestions of political motives. Mikkelsen alleged the experience was humiliating, involving strip-searches, fingerprinting, and errors in his travel records, including his Norwegian passport being incorrectly marked as Spanish. Vance has acknowledged the memes himself, telling The Blaze that he finds them funny.
