NYC Mayor's Race: Mamdani takes lead over Cuomo for first time in new poll; separate survey still has former governor up

A new poll of the June 24 mayoral Democratic primary released Wednesday night shows Democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani leading moderate Andrew Cuomo by four points. This marks the first time any survey in the race has had a candidate eclipse Cuomo’s consistent lead.

At the same time, however, Team Cuomo pointed to a separate poll that showed the former governor maintaining a comfortable double-digit advantage.

Mamdani, a Queens Assembly member, leads a survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling, as the top choice of 35% of the 573 voters polled. The result is just within the 4.1% margin of error. The poll did not include a ranked-choice voting simulation.

It has Cuomo, the former governor who’s attempting a political comeback, coming in second with 31% and city Comptroller Brad Lander third with 9%.
