Zohran Mamdani Leads Cuomo in Ranked-Choice Poll: South Asian Progressive Candidate Gains Momentum in NYC Mayoral Race

New York, June 23, 2025: In a surprising twist ahead of the upcoming New York City mayoral election, progressive politician Zohran Mamdani has emerged ahead of former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a recent ranked-choice voting poll. This unexpected shift has sparked widespread discussion, particularly within immigrant and South Asian communities across the city.

The poll, which analyzed voters’ first, second, and third-choice preferences, reveals that Mamdani is gaining significant support among young voters, working-class residents, and immigrant communities. His strong grassroots campaigning and commitment to progressive values have placed him at the forefront of this critical race.

A Symbol of Progressive Politics

Zohran Mamdani currently serves as a New York State Assembly member. Born and raised in New York City, he is the son of acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair (of Indian origin) and renowned Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani. His multiethnic background—South Asian and African—has made him a relatable and trusted figure among the city’s diverse population.

Mamdani’s consistent advocacy for housing justice, healthcare access, and immigrant rights has struck a chord with many New Yorkers seeking bold, people-centered leadership.

Excitement Among Immigrant Communities

Mamdani’s rise has generated considerable enthusiasm within the immigrant communities of Queens and beyond. Many South Asian and African residents view his candidacy as a breakthrough moment, where someone with lived experience in multiculturalism and systemic inequality could represent their voices at the highest levels of city government.

“He understands what it means to be marginalized, and he speaks our language—not just literally, but emotionally,” said a Bangladeshi community organizer from Jackson Heights.

Cuomo Faces Challenges

Andrew Cuomo, once a dominant figure in New York politics, is facing an uphill battle in the mayoral race. Though he retains a core base of support, past controversies and his establishment reputation appear to be limiting his appeal—especially among progressive and younger voters.

Analysts suggest that Mamdani’s strength lies not only in being a first-choice candidate but also in being widely accepted as a second or third choice, a crucial advantage in the ranked-choice system.

A Vision for the Future

In a recent campaign event, Mamdani stated, “Our mission is clear—we must build a New York where power serves people, not the other way around.” His campaign slogan, “People Before Power,” has resonated strongly with younger generations and working families alike.

As the Democratic primary approaches, all eyes are now on Mamdani’s continued momentum—and whether he can transform this wave of public support into a historic victory.
