Cuomo's lead shrinks with under one week until New York City mayoral primary: poll

The 2025 race for New York City mayor is tightening, with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo's lead shrinking with less than a week to go until the crucial June 24 Democratic Party mayoral primary, a new poll indicates.

A Marist Institute for Public Opinion poll released Wednesday shows that Cuomo – the former three-term governor – is the top choice for 38% of likely Democratic primary voters in New York City. 

Cuomo, who resigned in 2021 amid multiple scandals, is now eyeing a political comeback and working to redeem his image.
