A recent poll revealed that the Democratic primary for New York City mayor is narrowing to a contest between former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. Cuomo commands 45% support among Democrats, a rise reflecting his capture of votes previously held by incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. Mamdani now holds 22%, having increased his following by 4 points. Other candidates have struggled for traction; the election dynamics suggest an increasingly competitive face-off, with Cuomo maintaining a strong lead despite controversies.
The Democratic primary for New York City mayor is increasingly turning into a two-person race, with support growing for both ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and socialist state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.
Cuomo continues to lead in the primary with 45% backing from Democrats, a 4% increase since last month, largely capturing votes from incumbent Mayor Eric Adams.
Mamdani's support also rose from 18% to 22%, positioning him as the only other candidate in double digits, indicating a significant shift in voter preferences.
Pollster Bradley Honan emphasized the emerging two-person dynamic: 'It's truly a 2-person race - Cuomo and Mamdani and everyone else. The other candidates don't seem to be getting any traction.'
