Zohran Mamdani leads in the New York City mayoral race by almost 20 points in a five-person field as opposition to the state lawmaker’s bid continues to be split among multiple candidates, a new poll shows.

New York Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mandani has launched a new line of attack against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo by trying to tie him to Republican President Donald Trump, who remains deeply unpopular in the city.

The latest Siena poll, conducted between August 4-7, shows that 23 percent of conservatives back Mamdani, which is higher than former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo 's 18 percent and New York Mayor Eric Adams' 9 percent. Cuomo and Adams are expected to battle for the mayoralty as independent candidates in the general election in November.
