US EditionIn New York mayoral primary, progressive upstart aims to spoil Cuomo's comeback bid
- On June 24, 2025, an Emerson College survey indicated that Zohran Mamdani has taken the lead over Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic race for mayor of New York City.
- Mamdani's surge from 1% to 32% over five months contrasts with Cuomo's stagnant support near 35%, reflecting growing momentum for Mamdani.
- The poll surveyed 833 likely voters and early voters from June 18-20, using ranked-choice voting simulations where Mamdani gains 18 points and Cuomo 12.
- In the simulation's final round, Mamdani wins 52% to Cuomo's 48%, aided by Brad Lander's 13% initial support and his voters shifting to Mamdani.
- These results suggest a close race likely influenced by demographic divides and endorsements, with the winner advancing to the general election on November 4, 2025.
