Among LGBTQ voters, Queens Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani holds a slight edge over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary race for New York City mayor, according to a new poll released on June 12 by Honan Strategy Group and the non-profit organization Destination Tomorrow. However, neither candidate is standing out — and like in other polls, the contest is shaping up to be a two-person race.
The poll finds Mamdani in the lead among LGBTQ Democratic voters, with 25%, followed by 21% for Cuomo, 7% for City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, and 6% each for New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, former New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, and Brooklyn State Sen. Zellnor Myrie. Queens State Sen. Jessica Ramos and former Bronx Assemblymember Michael Blake are polling at 2% with the LGBTQ community. Mayor Eric Adams is not competing in the Democratic primary.
