A win for Cuomo in the mayoral primary would mark a dramatic comeback after he resigned as New York governor in 2021 amid sexual misconduct allegations.

Democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is surging, cutting ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s frontrunner status in the Democratic primary to just a single digit lead, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani (D) has surged into a clear second place in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, though he still trails former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), a new poll found.

Cuomo missed out on millions of dollars worth of matching funds but remains among the top fundraisers ahead of the June primary.

The new poll finds Mamdani losing by 12 points to Cuomo in the first round and coming within 8 points of Cuomo in a full, ranked-choice voting simulation.

Plus: the candidates for New York City mayor hit the campaign trail with just four weeks to go until the Democratic primary.
