With only two weeks to go before the Democratic primary—and just days before early voting begins—the mayor’s race appears to have come down to two frontrunners: former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani.
Though Cuomo has led the pack since early 2025, his margin seems to have narrowed recently. A May 28 poll showed Mamdani 12 percentage points behind in first-choice ranked votes, whereas an earlier poll from March put him as many as 23 points behind.
