Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani appears to be gaining ground on former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the crowded Democratic primary to replace Mayor Eric Adams, a new Emerson College/Pix11/The Hill poll revealed on Wednesday.
The survey of 606 Democratic primary voters, conducted during May 23-26, has Cuomo nabbing 35% of the vote to Mamdani’s 23% in the first round of ranked-choice — a 12 point difference between the first and second place candidates. But while the poll’s ranked-choice simulation has Cuomo winning in the 10th round with 54%, Mamdani is only eight points behind with 46%.
