The Democratic primary election in the 2025 New York City mayor’s race appears to be turning into a two-candidate race between former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, according to the latest poll released Monday morning.
The survey, conducted by the Honan Strategy Group in partnership with the city’s five Chambers of Commerce, shows that the moderate progressive Cuomo has expanded his lead with 45% support among likely Democratic primary voters—up four percentage points since March. Meanwhile, the socialist Mamdani has surged into a stronger second place, gaining 4 points since the previous poll and climbing to 22%.
