Democratic Socialist Second In NYC Mayoral Poll

May 14, 2025 Democrats, New York City

New York City’s ABC affiliate reports:

An event to endorse mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was held at Coop City on Wednesday. “If you want a new vision, you want a path forward, you will vote for Zohran Mamdani,” former Congressman Jamal Bowman said. Mamdani represents Astoria for the State Assembly. He’s a progressive, a democratic socialist, and is focused on making New York City more affordable. He wants to freeze rents, set up government-run grocery stores and establish universal child care.

He and his volunteers hope to shake the hands of a million voters in the next few weeks, but will that put him in striking distance of the former governor, Andrew Cuomo? According to a new Marist poll, Cuomo holds a commanding lead among the democratic candidates with 44%. Mamdani is second with 22%. The poll also shows that Cuomo would break the 50% threshold in the fifth round of ranked-choice voting.
