Democratic socialist and New York City (NYC) mayoral candidate, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, has opened up a commanding 20-point lead over his closest opponent, independent Andrew Cuomo, a poll released Tuesday shows.

Mamdani grabs 45 percent support in the Suffolk University CityView poll of New Yorkers very or somewhat likely to vote in November’s general election for mayor.

Cuomo, who resigned as governor in 2021 amid a slew of scandals and is running as an independent candidate after losing the primary, stands far back at 25 percent support in the survey, which was conducted Sept. 16–18.

Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa (nine percent), and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams (eight percent) bring up the rear of the field.
