Mamdani takes commanding 22-point lead over Cuomo in new poll

Other candidates fared even worse.

Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa scored only 15%, while incumbent Mayor Eric Adams earned just 9%.

"The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.6 percentage points among the likely electorate," the methodology section notes.

According to the poll, while 25% of likely New York City voters indicated that they think it would be very good for the city to have a democratic socialist as mayor, 12% felt it would be somewhat good, 26% thought it would be very bad, 6% indicated it would be somewhat bad, and 26% thought it would be neither good nor bad.

"New York City is not for sale. The backroom scheming from Donald Trump and the billionaire class is backfiring, as New Yorkers see Zohran Mamdani is the only candidate who will fight to make the most expensive city in the country more affordable," Mamdani campaign spokesperson Dora Pekec said in a statement. 

"Our campaign is busy building a movement that puts working people first - mobilizing thousands to get involved in the democratic process and fight for a new kind of politics," Pekec added.
