Final Campaign Push in NYC Mayor's Race; Poll Shows Democratic Views on Socialism

New York City's leading mayoral candidates are making their final appeals to voters ahead of Tuesday's primary election. The outcome will heavily influence who becomes the next mayor of America's largest city. A new CBS News poll reveals a division among Democrats regarding socialism. The poll shows that while a majority of Democratic voters hold a favorable view of the term, a significant minority do not. The survey indicates that 59% of Democratic voters see socialism positively. In contrast, 41% view it unfavorably. The poll did not define the term "socialism" for respondents, leaving interpretation open. The NYC mayor's race is the first major city election to use ranked-choice voting. This system allows voters to select up to five candidates in order of preference, which may delay a final result for several weeks.
