Mamdani ahead of Cuomo in ranked choice voting: NYC mayoral poll

NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUN 23 – Zohran Mamdani leads Andrew Cuomo by 4 points in ranked-choice voting simulation, driven by strong support from younger and progressive voters, according to Emerson College poll.

  • On the eve of the highly competitive June 24, 2025 primary election to choose the Democratic candidate for New York City’s mayoral race, a recent poll revealed Zohran Mamdani surpassing Andrew Cuomo after ranked-choice vote tabulations.
  • Mamdani, a Queens Assembly member running a grassroots campaign, focused on affordability reforms like rent freezes and fare-free buses, challenging Cuomo's established name recognition as a former governor.
  • The Emerson College/WPIX/The Hill poll surveyed 833 registered Democrats with a 3.4% margin of error and found Mamdani leading among voters earning over $100,000 by 20 points while Cuomo led by 4 points among those earning $50,000 to $100,000.
  • While campaigning in Inwood, Mamdani proclaimed that his campaign is close to overthrowing a longstanding political dynasty and highlighted the poll results as a sign of increasing support, despite Cuomo’s ongoing critiques of Mamdani’s legislative achievements.
  • The close primary suggests a divided electorate with Mamdani’s strength among wealthier and younger voters and Cuomo’s edge among women and older demographics, implying a competitive final outcome.
