According to a June 11-22 Harris X poll sponsored by Fix the City, Andrew Cuomo was likely to beat Zohran Mambani by 19 percentage points. As it turned out, Mamdani beat Cuomo by 7.1 percentage points. A not even close prognostication, nothing more than wishful thinking underwritten by billionaires.

Nicholas Fandos reports on Fix the City, a billionaire-fueled super PAC supporting the mayoral candidacy of Andrew Cuomo.
As of Monday, former Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg alone had given the group $8.3 million. DoorDash, the food delivery company, had given another $1 million; and Bill Ackman, an investor and supporter of President Trump, had donated $500,000.
Some were motivated by Mr. Cuomo’s record, others more out of fear how Mr. Mamdani, a democratic socialist who wants to raise taxes on businesses and the rich, would change the city if elected.
Mr. Mamdani has denounced the outside spending and has tried to incorporate it into his critique of Mr. Cuomo. He argues that the former governor is in the pocket of corporate interests and shares donors with Mr. Trump.
