Mamdani Narrows Cuomo's Lead in NYC Mayor's Race
A new Marist Poll found that 38% of likely voters planned to rank Andrew Cuomo first on their ballots for mayor, compared with 27% for Zohran Mamdani.
In a simulation of the city’s ranked-choice voting system, the former governor prevailed over Mamdani by 10 percentage points in the seventh round.
Yet, with less than a week to go before the June 24 primary, the results also showed signs of momentum for Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist running on an economic populist message. He cut the lead Cuomo held in a Marist poll in May by nearly half by consolidating progressives and making inroads with Latino voters.
