Andrew Cuomo Leads NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary Poll

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo holds a commanding lead in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, with polling showing him as the first choice of about 37-40% of likely Democratic primary voters. Cuomo's nearest rival, Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, garners approximately 18% support overall but leads among voters under 45 and those identifying as very liberal. The ranked-choice voting system in place allows Cuomo to extend his lead through successive rounds, ultimately reaching about 60% support in head-to-head matchups with Mamdani. Cuomo's support is notably strong among Black and Latino voters, while Mamdani draws younger and more progressive voters. Despite past controversies including Cuomo's 2021 resignation amid sexual misconduct allegations, his political base remains solid, and he is seen as the front-runner for the June 24 primary. However, a significant portion of voters, around 17%, remain undecided, leaving some room for shifts in the race dynamics.
