Zohran Mamdani appears to pull ahead of Andrew Cuomo, according to new poll

Progressive assemblyman may be leading the former governor in race for New York City mayor, survey finds

Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, has drawn level with Andrew Cuomo in the city's primary, according to a new poll, as voters brave record-breaking temperatures to cast their ballots.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York assemblyman, may even be leading Cuomo, the 67-year-old former governor and scion of a prominent New York political family, if the poll's simulation of the system of ranked-choice voting is correct.
