New poll finds Mamdani outstrips Cuomo 2:1 among NYC Latinos in mayoral race

The Democratic candidate for town hall, Zohran Mamdani, heads the estate by a healthy margin among the Latinos in New York, a new survey for its release on Tuesday.

The survey, commissioned by the Hispanic Federation and led by Lake Research, showed that Mamdani leading two figures, receiving 48% of the votes at 24% of Andrew Cuomo and the Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. 13% additional was undecided.

While Mamdani’s candidacy has found popularity, especially among younger white voters, the results also indicate that Mamdani was piercing from Latin New Yorkers. Mamdani has performed well in the primary elections in Hispanic districts like Washington Heights and East Harlem, while Cuomo won the Latin American districts in the Bronx.

Cuomo, now on an independent ticket, seeks to expand its base, making targeted awareness in external districts with black predominance and towards older voters.

Tuesday’s survey also showed a generational gap. Mamdani, 33, performed better among young voters than older voters, with a favorability rating of 62% among voters under 50 and 49% among voters over 50, according to the survey.

Mamdani used social media and viral videos to take momentum throughout the campaign, which seduced the younger generation more online. Older New Yorkers express more hesitation about his candidacy.

The margins of the survey are consistent with others who also show the democratic socialist with an important advance.

The survey questioned 600 voters and has an error margin of +/- 4%. It was produced between September 25 and October 4.

Respondents listed the cost of living, crime and housing as their three main issues, and 21% responded in Spanish.

Mamdani, Cuomo and Sliwa should compete in the general elections of November 4. Mayor Adams abandoned the race last week in the midst of low ballot and pressure numbers to withdraw to help clean the ground against Mamdani.
