NYC Mayoral Race Poll Shows Progressive Zohran Mamdani Closing In on Cuomo
Briefly

Zohran Mamdani is significantly narrowing the polling gap against former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming New York City mayoral election, according to a Data for Progress survey. Just two percentage points separate the two candidates in the final head-to-head round, reflecting a potential comeback for Mamdani, especially after receiving an endorsement from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This endorsement is pivotal, as Mamdani has struggled with name recognition compared to Cuomo. Previous polls had shown a much larger gap in favor of Cuomo, indicating a shift in voter sentiment as the election approaches.
A recent poll reveals that Zohran Mamdani is gaining ground against Andrew Cuomo, coming within a striking margin of error in the New York City mayoral race.
The Data for Progress survey indicates that as left-leaning candidates are eliminated in ranked choice voting, Cuomo's lead diminishes, showing a final head-to-head close call.
