Former Governor Andrew Cuomo holds a significant lead in the 2025 New York City mayoral Democratic primary, driven by strong support from older voters. A recent poll indicates that he is the top choice among registered voters with 34% support. In a ranked-choice voting scenario, he would emerge victorious in the eighth counting round with 54% of the vote. His support stems largely from voters aged 50 and older and those without a college degree, reflecting a critical demographic's influence on his campaign.
Cuomo's strong showing despite his 2021 resignation amid 11 allegations of sexual misconduct was primarily driven by support from older voters.
The issues most important to older New Yorkers—affordability, housing—are central to shaping their future, underscoring their engagement and influence in the mayoral race.
