Cuomo’s lead shrinks, Mamdani catches up in NYC mayoral election: poll
NEW YORK (PIX11) – Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is still ahead in the polls for the New York City mayoral election, but a new Marist survey showed his lead in the race is shrinking.
Cuomo was ranked as the first choice by 38% of New Yorkers, while Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is at 27% – putting him 11% behind Cuomo. A Marist poll from May found that Cuomo previously had a 19% lead over Mamdani.
Latino support for Mamdani has doubled, while Cuomo is losing ground with the same group, according to the poll. Cuomo is still ahead of Mamdani in every borough except Brooklyn, where Mamdani has more support.
While the race appears to be a two-man sprint just days before the primary election on June 24, there are still votes on the table that could make a difference. The Marist poll found 11% of voters are still undecided.
