Zohran Mamdani, the young democratic socialist who has been rising in the mayor’s race, is now ahead of Andrew Cuomo with just two weeks until the Democratic primary, a new poll reviewed in full by POLITICO found.
The survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling for Democrat Justin Brannan’s city comptroller campaign, found Mamdani beating Cuomo 35 percent to 31 percent — a difference that is narrowly within the 4.1 percent margin of error.
Cuomo has been the constant frontrunner since his March 1 entrance into the race to oust Mayor Eric Adams, with most publicly released polls showing him with comfortable leads. This new survey, which did not include a ranked-choice voting simulation, stands to signal a re-ordering of the highly unusual contest ahead of the June 24 election.
The poll of 573 likely Democratic voters was conducted between June 6 and June 7 — after nine candidates faced off in the first televised debate. The following day, June 5, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Mamdani, lending political star power to his campaign.
Thirty-nine percent of the poll’s responses came from landlines and 61 percent from text messages — a methodology that favored Mamdani given his strength with those responding via text, according to the results.
The survey showed the race continuing to narrow to a two-person contest between the youngest and oldest candidates in the field. But it didn’t offer respondents the chance to rank up to five candidates in order of preference, as they will be able to do on primary day.
A Cuomo campaign poll conducted by Expedition Strategies and shared with POLITICO earlier this week found the former governor leading Mamdani by 12 points, 56 percent to 44 percent, after eight rounds of voting.

NYC delinda est...
This dude is a Muslim and is advocating for “no-go zones” in NYC, i.e., areas under sharia.
25 years ago, we had Rudy Giuliani.
😢
Him winning would be the Kiss of Death for NYC.
Have New Yorkers lost their alleged minds?
Sharia law would teach them a lot of things they wouldn’t like. Aren’t there more reasonable candidates?
I doubt it.
Have New Yorkers lost their alleged minds?
Who’s the Republican alternative they have to vote for?
New Yorkers are being taught to hate America.
We didn't do anything about what was happening in the universities.
Well, since reps have no one I think its time do do whatever needed to vote for the lesser of two evils in the dem primary.
I was in NYC last week. Zohran’s posters are plastered everywhere. Can’t get away from seeing his mug.
Hard to believe I'll say this but I'll vote for Cuomo if I'm a New Yorker.
New Yorkers seem to really, really want it “good and hard.” Let them have it.
Small comfort - but, no obvious chance to run for President.
His mother is Asian Indian.
She started her USA career on a film scholarship at Harvard. Wikipedia lists all her films.
It looks like every well funded film she makes has solid critical praise. But, ALL of them lose money.
She was actually offered the Director job for "Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix." She turned the offer down.
"Phoenix" is the Potter film that features the hideous female character, Dolores Umbridge.
GOODBYE NEW YORK!!
Stupid Curtis Sliwall (sp) is running as a Republican again!! UGH....didn’t he bring a lot of CATS with him to vote?? Idiot.
