"Comptroller Brad Lander leads incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman by 19% in a new progressive poll of a potential Democratic primary matchup in the deep-blue NY-10 district spanning lower Manhattan and brownstone Brooklyn. Lander, who is enthusiastically backing Zohran Mamdani's mayoral candidacy, leads Goldman by 52%-to-33% in the poll of a hypothetical one-on-one 2026 primary matchup. Goldman, a two-term pro-Israel moderate who hasn't endorsed Mamdani yet, says he and Lander are allies in the fight against President Trump and he welcomes competition in a potential primary face-off."
"Team Goldman derided the survey as an "agenda driven push poll" and predicted that the main issue on the ballot in 2026 will be the battle to win back Congress from Trump's Republicans, not Mamdani or Israel. The poll says Lander boasts much better favorability numbers, with a +59 approval rating compared to Goldman's modest +19% in the poll, which was sponsored by the progressive Demand Progress group."
Brad Lander holds a 52%-to-33% lead over Rep. Dan Goldman in a hypothetical 2026 Democratic primary in NY-10, a 19-point advantage. Lander posts a +59 favorability rating versus Goldman's +19 and has higher name recognition among district residents. Lander strongly backs Zohran Mamdani for mayor and is considered a likely candidate for a senior role in a potential Mamdani administration. Goldman identifies as a two-term pro-Israel moderate, describes Lander as an ally against President Trump, and says he welcomes primary competition. Goldman's team called the survey agenda-driven and emphasized the 2026 focus will be retaking Congress.
