A recent Public Policy Polling survey reveals Democratic socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani leading former Governor Andrew Cuomo by four points in the June 24 mayoral primary. This marks the first instance of a candidate surpassing Cuomo's previously steady lead. While Mamdani claims 35% support compared to Cuomo's 31%, his campaign has gained momentum after endorsements from prominent figures like US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. However, Cuomo's team references other polls indicating he still holds a significant lead, emphasizing the competitive nature of the upcoming election.
The poll marks the first time any survey has had a candidate eclipse Cuomo's consistent lead, suggesting a significant shift in voter sentiment towards Mamdani.
Despite Mamdani leading, Cuomo's team points to another poll showing him with a comfortable double-digit advantage, highlighting the polarized nature of the race.
