Zohran Mamdani leads in the New York City mayoral race by almost 20 points in a five-person field as opposition to the state lawmaker’s bid continues to be split among multiple candidates, a new poll shows.

The latest Siena poll, conducted between August 4-7, shows that 23 percent of conservatives back Mamdani, which is higher than former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo 's 18 percent and New York Mayor Eric Adams' 9 percent. Cuomo and Adams are expected to battle for the mayoralty as independent candidates in the general election in November.

New York Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mandani has launched a new line of attack against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo by trying to tie him to Republican President Donald Trump, who remains deeply unpopular in the city.
