Mamdani leads Cuomo by four points, 52% to 48%, in the eighth and final round of a ranked choice simulation, according to a new Emerson College survey<\/a>. No other mayoral candidates made it to the final round. Ranked choice voting allows voters to select up to five candidates in order of preference.<\/p>\n

The new results may spell trouble for Cuomo, whose numbers largely remained stagnant in the past several months of polling.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver five months, Mamdani\u2019s support has surged from 1% to 32%, while Cuomo finishes near where he began,\u201d Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in a statement. \u201cIn the ranked choice simulation, Mamdani gains 18 points compared to Cuomo\u2019s 12, putting him ahead in the final round for the first time in an Emerson poll.\u201d<\/p>\n

The initial round showed Cuomo leading Mamdani by two points (36% to 34%).<\/p>\n

While the socialist candidate has overtaken the former governor in the ranked choice category, Cuomo is leading with 35% support overall compared to Mamdani\u2019s 32%. Meanwhile, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams stand at 13% and 8% percent, respectively.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Cuomo leads Mamdani 36% to 31% among voters who plan to vote on Tuesday or those who have not yet voted.<\/p>\n

The poll\u2019s findings are consistent with a Marist poll released last week showing Cuomo winning the primary race but Mamdani catching up to the frontrunner.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Mamdani and Lander endorsed each other in an effort for voters to support \u201canybody but Cuomo.\u201d Mamdani has also received some high-profile endorsements, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), a fellow progressive socialist.<\/p>\n

The Emerson poll also shows Cuomo and Mamdani attracting different age and racial demographics.<\/p>\n

For instance, Democratic voters under 50 back Mamdani by a 2:1 margin, while voters aged 50\u201359 (63% to 37%) and those over 60 (56% to 44%) support Cuomo.<\/p>\n

Also, Cuomo is performing better with Hispanic voters (60% to 40%) and black voters (62% to 38%). Meanwhile, Mamdani is attracting white voters (61% to 39%) and Asian voters (79% to 21%) to his socialist campaign platform, which includes rent freezes.<\/p>\n

There is also a gender divide between the two contenders, with more men supporting Mamdani (56% to 44%) and more women backing Cuomo (52% to 48%).<\/p>\n

The Emerson College poll surveyed 833 New York City Democratic primary voters who are likely to vote and those who voted early, with a margin of error of +\/-3.3%. The ranked choice voting simulation\u2019s final round surveyed a sample size of 729, with a margin of error of +\/-3.6%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mamdani leads Cuomo by four points, 52% to 48%, in the eighth and final round of a ranked…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":8386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,5297,9642,6529,9639,9640,405,403,50,5226,5225,5228,5227,9638,9641,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,5301],"class_list":{"0":"post-8385","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-andrew-cuomo","10":"tag-campaigns","11":"tag-democratic-primary","12":"tag-mamdani-polling","13":"tag-myc-mayor-polling","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-city","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-newyork","18":"tag-newyorkcity","19":"tag-ny","20":"tag-nyc","21":"tag-nyc-mayoral-primary","22":"tag-polls","23":"tag-united-states","24":"tag-united-states-of-america","25":"tag-unitedstates","26":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","27":"tag-us","28":"tag-usa","29":"tag-zohran-mamdani"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114733528116441140","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
