Another poll puts NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in 2nd place

Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, a current state assemblymember from Queens and a New York City mayoral candidate, announced on Monday that his campaign reached the maximum $8 million funding limit for the June primary, becoming the first to do so.
The city's Campaign Finance Program aims to reduce the influence of large donors by offering public matching funds of $8 for every $1 donated by New York City residents up to the first $250 of a contribution, with spending limits placed on candidates who opt-in.
Mamdani's campaign reached the fundraising limit through approximately 18,000 donors citywide and plans to focus on voter mobilization, aiming for the largest volunteer operation the city has ever seen.
Mamdani stated, “This is a testament to the momentum behind us and the magnitude of our people-powered movement,” and that he is now asking New Yorkers for their time instead of money.
Mayor Eric Adams, also participating in the matching funds program, was determined to be ineligible to receive matching funds back in December due to federal corruption charges, while Andrew Cuomo holds a commanding lead at 38 percent according to a Quinnipiac poll.
