With the Democratic primary early voting well underway, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo holds a lead over rising super star Zohran Mamdani in the highly contested New York City mayoral race, a new poll suggests.

The recent data comes from a Marist poll published Wednesday that surveyed 1,350 likely Democratic primary voters between June 9-12. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.3 percentage points.
