NYC mayoral race: Cuomo holds double-digit edge in latest poll as reports indicate he could launch campaign this weekend

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has yet to declare he is running in the 2025 NYC mayoral race, continues to dominate the Democratic primary field in yet another poll released Tuesday, as reports suggest he could announce a bid as soon as this weekend.

The former governor, who resigned in 2021 amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct that he denies, has a 26% advantage over the rest of the Democratic mayoral candidates — a new poll conducted by the Honan Strategy Group found.

Additionally, as petitioning to get on the Democratic primary ballot gets underway on Tuesday, the New York Times reported that Cuomo could announce his campaign this weekend or next week.

According to the survey of 1,214 Democratic primary voters conducted between Feb. 22 and 23, Cuomo leads the pack with 38% of the vote. Democratic Socialist Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani (Queens) comes in second with 12%, and Mayor Eric Adams comes in third with 10%.
