US EditionIn New York mayoral primary, progressive upstart aims to spoil Cuomo's comeback bid
NEW YORK CITY, JUN 24 – Zohran Mamdani leads Andrew Cuomo by 3.6% in Emerson poll's ranked-choice simulation, driven by strong support from younger, white, and Asian voters, pollster said.
- On the eve of the June 25, 2025, New York City Democratic mayoral primary, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani leads former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a ranked choice poll.
- Mamdani's surge from 1% to 32% over five months stems from shifts in voter support and high-profile endorsements amid Cuomo's stagnant base.
- The Emerson College survey, involving 833 likely voters and early ballots, shows Mamdani with 52% to Cuomo's 48% in the final ranked choice round and a 10-point early vote lead.
- Spencer Kimball, director of Emerson College Polling, stated that in the ranked-choice voting simulation, Mamdani’s support increased by 18 points while Cuomo’s rose by 12, resulting in Mamdani leading for the first time in the final round according to an Emerson poll.
- Mamdani's rise suggests potential disruption in the primary outcome, as demographic trends and cross-endorsements could influence the fall general election favoring the Democratic nominee.
