A Monday poll by Data for Progress gives new insight into the 2025 New York City mayoral election as the field of candidates for the November general election remains in flux.
The Data for Progress poll shows Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic primary winner, leading the field with 40% of polled individuals marking the 33-year-old as their top choice for mayor. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who appears to be nearing a decision on an independent campaign after losing to Mamdani and is expected to commit to the race in the coming days, is polling in second place with 24%.
Mayor Eric Adams, who is running on an independent line, polled third at 15%, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa is in fourth at 14%. Independent candidate Jim Walden is in fifth place with 1%; 5% of polled individuals remain unsure.
In individual favorability scores for each candidate, the Data for Progress poll shows Mamdani with the highest favorability among the five — and the only candidate with an overall positive favorability rating. Mamdani's favorability rating is 49-40, Cuomo's is 39-59, Adams' is 29-70, Sliwa's is 32-50, and Walden's is 9-15 (most polled individuals had not heard enough about the attorney to give their favorability, according to the poll.)
Mamdani's favorability rating of 49-40 is higher than that of the Democratic party itself, which scored at 49-49. The democratic socialist drew broad support in the primary election from progressives and young people fed up with the party establishment.
Adams, who is running for reelection following a five-count criminal campaign fraud indictment that was dismissed in April, announced ahead of the Democratic primary that he would instead run for reelection as an independent.

Will have to ask NYC Democrats who are against Zohran Mamdani. Ask Jamie Dimon. Would he prefer Cuomo?
Why should the Republican bow out? Guarantees a Dem win.
Cuomo is the one throwing a sissy fit. He got butt hurt when they threw him out of Albany. His ego won’t let go. So he is tge one that wants NYC to rot out of spite. Thinks he can ride in 4 years later.
I think the Cuomos have worn out their welcome.
He won’t drop out so it’s up to Adams and Sliwa to work out a deal. Can Sliwa trust anything Adams promises? No. He’s a Democrat.
Too bad today’s NYC hates Rudy or Sliwa would have a better chance reminding people of how he saved the city.
I wonder if the Police would get behind Sliwa. They should.
“a new poll shows Curtis Sliwa,the GOP nominee,in a statistical tie for the lead.”
THAT is encouraging!
