A recent poll before the New York City primary election shows democratic socialist Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani leading with 51.8% against Andrew Cuomo's 48.2%. This 3.6-point margin suggests a close race, as Mamdani gains support in later rounds of ranked-choice voting. Despite initially trailing Cuomo in the first round, Mamdani's strategy of accumulating the votes of eliminated candidates appears effective. A victory for Mamdani could have significant implications for progressive politics nationally, highlighting a potential shift in voter preferences within the party.
The final independent poll released before Tuesday's primary election in New York City shows democratic socialist Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani triumphing over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo by nearly four points.
Mamdani's support rises substantially in the final rounds of voting, indicating a strong coalition and strategy that appeals to voters as candidates drop off.
