The mayoral race between Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani has turned competitive as recent polling indicates a potential upset, especially among younger voters. An Emerson College poll shows Mamdani leading Cuomo, contrasting with earlier polls that favored Cuomo. Voter turnout, especially among those under 45, has surged, doubling from the last election, suggesting frustration with traditional candidates and a new excitement for Mamdani. The heightened early voting and generational divide indicate a critical moment as both candidates aim to energize their bases with Election Day approaching.
Even the Marist poll released last week that showed Cuomo with a ten-point lead gave Mamdani a staggering 34-point lead among voters under 45.
The total early vote is double what it was four years ago, and nearly one-quarter of those who turned out over the past two weeks hadn't voted in a Democratic primary in at least the past dozen years.
