This article discusses Andrew Cuomo and running mate Kathy Hochul's current lead in the Democratic primaries, against their opponent Zephyr Teachout and Timothy Wu. They have strong support against these candidates, but are also more vulnerable to criticism. Cuomo in particular has been criticized for being too moderate and having a spotty relationship with anti-corruption. Meanwhile, Rob Astorino, the Republican candidate, has been predicted to lose to Cuomo, who has so much more support. Even other Republicans, such as Governor Chris Christie, acknowledge Astorino's disadvantages in the race.
