Cuomo leads Mamdani by 14 points in survey ahead of NYC primary voting
New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo leads state Assembly member Zohran Mamdani by 14 points in the final round of ranked choice voting in a poll released just ahead of the citys much-anticipated primary.
The survey from Yale Polling/YouGov, released Monday, shows Cuomo ahead in the first round of vote tabulating by 10 points over Mamdani 38 percent to 28 percent. New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams came in third with 12 percent, followed by city Comptroller Brad Lander with 7 percent and former Comptroller Scott Stringer with 6 percent.
All other candidates received 3 percent or less.
The ranked choice simulation when a candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed to voters next available preference continues until only Cuomo and Mamdani remain in contention. The former governor won in the 10th round, 57 percent to 43 percent.
