While Cuomo continues to maintain his lead, the poll shows it is stagnant and the race is tightening. But the poll also shows a race not as tight as Mamdani has been saying. Cuomo is the first-choice candidate of 38% of likely Democratic primary voters. Mamdani comes in second with 27%, up from 18% last month.
