Cuomo Leads Among New York City Democrats

A new Emerson College survey of New York City’s Democratic primary for mayor finds 35% of voters support Andrew Cuomo (D) on the first round of the ballot, 23% support Zohran Mamdani (D), 11% support Brad Lander (D), 9% Scott Stringer (D), 8% Adrienne Adams (D), and 5% Zellnor Myrie (D).

After ten rounds of rank choice simulation, Cuomo passes the 50% threshold with 54%, and Mamdani ends with 46%.

Said pollster Spencer Kimball: “With four weeks to go, the question is whether Cuomo can run out the clock, or if he needs to win over second-choice voters to hold off Mamdani’s momentum.”
